Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy of the Ancient Egyptian Star Names of the Dendera zodiac

Psalm 96:4 -5 For the Lord is Great and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

   The ancient zodiac found in the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, Egypt, known as the Dendera zodiac, has provided a revealing view of the significance of the goddess Hathor and the rituals associated with her temple in ancient Egypt. However, its true import from the viewpoint of the history of ancient Astronomy, far exceeds heathen rituals associated this idol goddess, linked with the goddess Isis in ancient Egypt. There is archaeological evidence showing a shrine at Dendera dedicated to Hathor, as early as the Pre-dynastic period from 5500 BC-3100BC. It was the work of Sir Norman Lockyer who initially described how the singular temples of ancient Egypt were utilized as monumental astronomical instruments oriented towards specific celestial bodies. For example, he found that the Temple of Amon-Ra at Karnak was accurately oriented towards the summer Solstice, and the high precision applied by the astronomers of ancient Egyptian allowed them to calculate the length of their year to within 4 points of the decimal, or [365.2422]. Conventional Archaeology has taken note that the temple to Hathor was rebuilt during the Pyramid Age by the Pharaoh Khufu (2589-2566BC). There is more evidence that pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom Dynasties, Menuhotep (2004-1992BC), and Amenemhat (1985-1955BC) made additions or inscriptions on Hathor's temple. Also during the New Kingdom Dynasties of Tuthmosis III (1479-1425BC), Amenhoptep III (1390-1352BC) and Rameses II (1279-1213BC), these pharaohs also rebuilt or paid homage to Hathor/Isis at this location. But not until Lockyer came along, did anyone realize that many of these ancient temples in Egypt changed their axis of orientation to match the shifting position of a particular star, to which certain temples were  dedicated in their star religion.   

   The building located at Dendera today was erected during the Graeco-Roman Period (332BC-395AD). Archaeologists believe that construction of the current shrine began during the reign of Ptolemy XII (80-51BC) and was abandoned during the First Century AD. Our interest is in the study of the astronomical practices of the ancient Egyptians associated with the Temple at Dendera, and what these practices can tell us about the sophistication of their knowledge of Astronomy at such an early time. This knowledge comes from two primary areas, first the zodiac of Dendera itself, originally found on the ceiling of the shrine, reflecting a map of the sky with Constellations divided into 36 decans, used in Egypt to divide the 12 hours of the night.

The Dendera zodiac is depicted in Figure A below.

   Secondly, we are interested in the use of the Sothic Calendar in ancient Egypt, which was prominently connected with the rituals conducted annually at Hathor's Temple. The most important rite was the New Year's festival, when Hathor's statue was taken in a procession to the roof of the shrine, so she could be ceremonially unified with the light rays of the Sun-god. The context of this rite, was the alignment of the luni-solar calendar based on the Heliacal Rising of the star Sirius. Hathor's celestial aspect was seen in the star Sirius. As E.C. Krupp states: "Isis as Sirius was the mother of the New Year. Isis in her way, then, also reestablished the world order by creating the New Year as she rose heliacally in the form of Sirius."¹
   On New Year's day every year, the statues of the Sun-god (Ra) and Hathor/Isis were carried to the roof of the shrine, where the light of both Sirius and the Sun would shine on them. According to Krupp: "the Heliacal Rising of Sirius involves only a brief appearing of the star before it is lost in the light of the sun. The event of this union, or marriage, recreates the world order by celebrating the sun's birthday, the New Year."² [emphasis mine]
   The significance of the coordination of the lunar and solar cycles in the context of this New Year's celebration is that the Heliacal Rising of Sirius signaled the Egyptians to add an monthIntercalation to keep the lunar cycles in line with the solar seasons. We have already seen how the history of Hathor's temple extends back into Pre-dynastic ages coincident to the Precessional age of Taurus. We can take note of the recognition of precession in ancient Egypt also in how the Pharaohs took thier names. As we have already seen above, the Menuhopteps, starting with Menes/ Narmer, preceded the Amenhoteps in the Pharonic historical progression. What is interesting is that these Old Kingdom Pharaohs adopted Mentu the Bull into their names during the latter stages of the Precessional Age of Taurus, just before the precessional transiton to the Age of Aries, around 2100 BC. Once the Age of the Ram Aries began, the Pharaohs began honoring the Ram-Amon in their kingly names. During this period and following was also when Ram-headed Criosphinxes began showing up in Egyptian iconagraphy, as a representation of their creator-god Khnum, who they believed, fashioned the universe out of clay. This also explains Khnum's association with the fertility of soil and the annual innundation of the Nile. As Khnum grew in power and influence in the Egyptian pantheon, the symbolism of the Bull became less important. In concert with this viewpoint from a Hathor/ Isis perspective, Egyptologist Richard Parker deciphered early symbols carved on an ivory tablet from the First Dynasty as: "Sirius, the opener of the year, the innundation." As Krupp observes: "This implies that the basic elements of the calendar system were in place by 3100 BC. The same celestial calibrations endure all the way into the Ptolemaic period, 3,000 years later." ³ A First Dynasty Ivory plaque depicts the star Sirius as a hieroglyph of a reclining Cow with the Sun above her head, easily visible in similar form in the Dendera zodiac, marking not only the start of the New Year, but also having precessional significance, since Isis as this reclining cow is found just behind the sign Gemini, in the counter-clockwise order of precessional ages. This is strong evidence of the use of the Sirius cycle, or Sothic Calendar in ancient Egypt, standing as a testimony to their recognition of precession and advanced astronomical practices early on. 
  Biblically, we can trace the knowledge of precession to at least the time of Kings David and Solomon in Israel, around 1000 BC. This is evident in Scripture in the Psalms of David, which depicts the path of the Sun as a tabernacle of [12] houses, compared to a strong man running a race; [Psalm 19:4-5]. This is a prophecy of the Coming Redeemer written in the heavens. Verse 6 below provides some early evidence of specifics of the depth of technical awareness and sophistication of the celestial science of the ancient Hebrews.

Psalm 19:6
His going forth is from the end of heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

"going forth"-mowtsa [H4161] in the Hebrew, meaning; "the dawn, the east, a gate, the rising Sun." This is a direct reference to the counter-clockwise precessional  motion of the Sun, as it rises at dawn in the east at the vernal equinox in successive "gates" or houses of the zodiac, for periods of 2160 years in each house, also known as a precessional age. 

"end of heaven"- here "end" refers to an extremity or border, and in this  context, specific solar cycles are being depicted. According to Strongs Concordance; "Heaven" is in the second form, being a dual of an unused singular. Strong's infers that this dual perhaps makes reference to the dual aspect of the sky: first, in the visible arch where the clouds move above our heads, and second, in the higher space where the stars and planets revolve.⁴ Since the context of this passage has already singled out the latter of these two options, we can observe that this reference is pointing out dual aspects of the solar cycle. This is supported in the following words of this verse:

"his circuit"- tequpah [H8622] is a specific reference to the annual cycle of the solar year, as seen in II Chronicles 24:23, where this word is translated "end of the year." This is also evident in the remaining words in this verse "nothing is hid from the heat thereof." The Sun is our primary source of light and heat on Earth, and as we have already seen, Biblically this light is a three-fold light denoting physical light as our source of biological life, not to mention a connotation for "enlightenment", which includes both intellectual and spiritual knowledge. The light of God in Christ symbolized in the Sun, NOT literalized into the idol of the Sun-god, exposes all darkness and hidden things. Nothing can hide from the Son's effulgent and resplendent light.    

  This verse provides clear Biblical evidence of both the knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes, and the annual solar cycle in the time of David. Our website study on Noah's Calendar, provides additional evidence of the early application of this knowledge, along with Joseph's dream in Gen. 37. Since Noah and his family were the only survivors of the flood, we can trace all the roots of our modern celestial practices back to him. We have also noted how the Sothic Calendar was known and utilized in the Book of Job, the oldest book in Biblical Canon, and the only Scripture specifically penned to and for the Biblical Patriarchal administration. The influence of the Biblical Patriarchs can be seen and felt in ancient Egypt, which accounts for their advanced celestial knowledge appearing fully formed in the purity of its earliest stages, as opposed to the concepts of the evolutionary "progress model." It is the corrosive decay of Astrology which degraded the original purity of the Astronomy of the Biblical Patriarchs, that we seek to nullify here, utilizing the principles of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy.    

  Sirius is thus a key important element of the advanced astronomical knowledge in ancient Egypt involving their practical knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes, due to the extended duration of the Sirius cycle, as opposed to the shorter solar year. The Dendera zodiac provides hard archaeological evidence in unity with the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx, that knowledge of the precession was applied in ancient Egypt, long before Hipparchus supposedly "discovered" it around 134 BC. This idea, that the ancient Egyptians were not only aware of precession, but practiced its intricacies based on the symbolism and sacred geometry, built into their temple architecture and star religion, has always been strongly opposed by the evolutionists because, history shows that much of the ancient Egyptian knowledge inherent in their astronomy, hieroglyphics, mathematics and medicine were more advanced in their earliest dynasties than they were later on. Obviously, a sophisticated ancient culture like Egypt with fully developed systems at their inception, flies in the face of "evolutionary progress" starting with the primitives, that humanity ostensibly endured, before man could reach the "pinnacle" of knowledge and wisdom that we hold in modern times. This is the main reason Lockyer's findings were scoffed at and given the silent treatment by evolutionists of his day, yet this evidence still stands defiantly and unaccounted for, by atheistic evolutionists today. As an example, Lockyer believed that the Temple at Dendera was probably "rebuilt at least three times since 3733 BC; once in the reign of King Pepi I, [which Lockyer dates at 3233 BC] once again by Thothmes III in 1600 BC, and finally by the Ptolemies about 100 BC. According to Lockyer the temple may have been previously directed at the star Dubhe, which ceased to be circumpolar about 4000 BC, and before that at gamma Draconis, which ceased to be circumpolar about 5000 BC."⁵ 



  This archaeological evidence shows not only, that the earliest dynasties of ancient Egypt recognized the precessional symbolism in their star religion, and commemorated it in the mathematics of their temple architecture, but also how this knowlege was applied in the re-orientation of their temples towards their patron stars through the centuries. Those who have promoted the supposed primacy of these idolatrous rites of ancient Egypt, based on their Star religion, also forget that Jehovah judged the Egyptians with the 10 plagues preceding Israel's Exodus from Egypt into the Promised Land, due to these types of "religious practices." Each of God's plagues executed by Moses, stands as a judgment against a particular idol in ancient Egypt, and their heathen worship of those idols. Subsequently, we will not fall into the same pit as those who promote the idols that God has so sternly judged. Instead, we are interested in the original idea that was corrupted by the idolatry and mythology of the ancient world. As E.W. Bullinger stated:

"All the ancient systems of idolatry connected with Astrology and mythology were in the same way, not original inventions of what was new but the corruption of what was old, and the perversion of original truth."⁶

  This truth goes a long way towards explaining why there is so much commonality in the ancient mythical themes of cultures across the world, which shared no direct social or historical contact. This phenomena is what the late mythographer Joseph Campbell called the world monomyth. 
As we will see, the Dendera zodiac not only witnesses to the celestial master-theme of the returning Hero and Coming Redeemer of mankind, via its inherent axes, but also with the star names employed in ancient Egypt, and their persistent agreement with the star names employed by the Biblical Patriarchs as recorded in Old Testament writings, like the book of Job. In this way the overall structural themes of the Dendera zodiac present a consistent picture in agreement with the truths of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy concerning the Creator's purpose of the ages. With this in mind let's take a closer look at some Egyptian star names in the Dendera zodiac.

Egyptian Star Names of the Dendera zodiac

   A valuable aspect of the Dendera zodiac is the recognition of the ancient Epytian star names associated with it and their meaning, as they compare to the Hebrew meanings of the same stars. This gives us an indicator of the similarity of the practical Astronomy between the two cultures and the potentially common source of these names. It has been standard practice for many of the experts on mythology to claim that ancient cultural myths are the precursor and the source of the Christian tradition. We have always known that the reverse is true, because despite the agreement of the themed names of the stars, the Egyptian Star religion did not carry out the meanings of these star names in their star temple rituals, but the original themes were degraded as a result of the idol practices in ancient Egypt. In the narrative that follows it will become evident  that these ancient Egyptian star names will establish the themes witnessed already, concerning the return of the Coming Redeemer, written in the Hebrew zodiac, shown in the coordination of the 12 zodiacal signs with the 12 tribes of Israel. This article is intended to provide an overview in brief of this subject, enough to show the consistent themes between these ancient zodiacs, not a comprehensive handling of all its salient points.
   With this in mind let's begin with the decans of Virgo, in Coma, or what the Romans called, or rather changed, to Coma Bernieces. Let us not forget that the Hebrew zodiac, starting with Virgo and ending in Leo, is preserved in the great monument of the Giza plateau, the Great Sphinx. This study will show also how the Sphinx relates to the awareness of  the precession in ancient Egypt. For a detailed record of the prophecies of the coming redeemer associated with this landmark of ancient truth, please refer to the study of the Sphinx on this web-site.

The Sign Coma as seen in the Dendera zodiac prior to the Corruption to Berniece's Wig.



  The Egyptian name for this decan of Virgo is Shes-nu, means "Desired Son," and the star picture of Coma is of a woman with a child in her lap. This correlates to the Biblical connotation of the sign, as we have already seen in the documentation of the specific signs of the Celestial Prelude. We find some related scriptural references to "the desired of the nations" in Haggai 2:7 and Numbers 24:17. Another decan of Virgo is Böötes, which in Egypt was called Smat, meaning the "one who rules," [Ps. 96:13]. The brightest star in Böötes is Arcturus, which is referred to in the book of Job 9:9. In one decan of the scorpion-Scorpius the Egyptian name for Ophiuchus is Api - Bau, meaning; the chief who comes. Another decan of the Scorpion is Hercules, shown below, which in the Egyptian is simply "Bau," meaning "who comes." This of course relates the Greek mythology of Hercules, like his 12 labors for instance, to the sufferings of the conquering King of kings-Jesus Christ. Some of these themes are evident in the graphic below, as the spear through Hercules' heel reflects the sufferings Christ endured, leading to his glorious victory over the enemy, depicted as he subdues the dragon under his opposite foot.   

The decan of Hercules



   We continue with the sign Sagittarius, whose Egyptian name was Knem, with the meaning "he who conquers." This is consistent with the Biblical theme of Jesus returning as the King of Kings, to conquer all forces of darkness. Another Egyptian word applied to this sign, Pi-Maere, tells of the graciousness of the power of God's righteous king. We find evidence of this theme in the first verse of the 45th Psalm.

Psalm 45:2-7
2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee forever.
3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

The Constellations Sagittarius and Capricorn

   The fifth verse above clearly depicts the star picture found in Sagittarius, the great mounted archer whose arrows are trained on the star at the heart of the celestial Scorpion, Antares. In one decan of Sagittarius we find the Lyra, with its brightest star Vega, meaning he, the conqueror shall be exalted. Also in these decans we have Draco the serpent pictured under the feet of the conqueror's horse in the Dendera zodiac. This serpent is called Her-fent in the ancient Egyptian, meaning the serpent accursed. As we continue in with the sign Capricorn, in Dendera the name is Mu-penius, meaning; a place of sacrifice, rather than the sacrifice itself. For the sign Aquarius, Dendera pictures two urns consistent with the Arabian star name that has been preserved into modern times "Saad el Melik," or the record of pouring forth. The book of Isaiah gives details comparing the outpouring of water for the thirsty, [Pisces Australius] with the outpouring of holy spirit on His seed, relating to the sign Aquarius. [Joel 2:28-32, John 3:3-8, 4:10-16]

Isa. 44:2-6
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. 3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: 4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
5 One shall say, I am the LORD'S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. 6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

   One decan of Aquarius is the Southern Fish, whose name in Egyptian is Aar, meaning a stream. This of course refers to the stream of water poured from the urns of Aquarius, into the thirsty mouth of Pisces Australis. Speaking of fish, the Egyptian name for Pisces is Picot, which means the swarms or multitudes. This is significant when we realize that the two fishes of Pisces Biblically represent the 12 tribes of people in Israel and Judah. We find these truths expounded in the decan of Pisces called The Band, and the Biblical record in Hosea.

Hosea 11:1-5

1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. 2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. 3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. 4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. 5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. 

Constellation Pisces with decan of the Band tied to the Neck of Cetus.
Also pictured here, right of the horizontal Fish-the Urn of Aquarius the Water-bearer.

The word for the decan of The Band is U-or in Egyptian, meaning "he comes binding them together, and breaking the binding band." We can see this in verse four above, along with Ephraim in verse three, as one of the tribes of Israel represented by one of the two fish of the sign Pisces. The second decan of the fishes is Andromeda, known in Egypt as Set, meaning; seated as a Queen. This truth is recorded in Isaiah.

Isa. 52: 1-8.
1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. 2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. 4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. 6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am He that doth speak: behold, it is I. 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

   As the decan of Andromeda is pictured in chains, so these chains will also be broken by the Coming Redeemer, and the captive daughter of Zion will sit down and reign as Queen. The third decan of Pisces is Cepheus, known as Pe-ku-hor, in Egypt, the one who comes the rule.

The decan of Cepheus the Crowned King 



   This not only corresponds with Cepheus as the crowned king, but also relates to the pole star Polaris residing between his feet [Eph. 1:20-23], signifying Christ's dominion over all Creation as seen in the precession of the poles. As we proceed to the decans of Aries, called in Egypt Tametouris Ammon, the rule of Ammon, we find Dendera's name for Cetus the Sea monster as Knem meaning the subdued, [Job 41:1-10, Isa. 26:21-27:1]. We find confirmation of this in Psalm 74.

Psalm 74:9-18
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

   The heads of the Leviathan, the great sea-monster, are broken by the Hand of God, and its carcass is fed to the inhabitants of the land. The context of the waters referred to here, are much greater than the oceans of the Earth. As we can see in verses 16-17, the context is the Creation of the world, when God moved upon the faces of the great deep and said. Let there be light. It was the enemy who brought about the destruction of the First Heavens and Earth, as is recorded between Genesis 1:1-2. God created all things in His order, they only became "without form and void" as a result of the attempted coup and revolt of the dragons in the waters, who put the darkness on the faces of the great deep. God restored His order in the creation record of Genesis 1, including the great lights of the firmament that separated the waters above it, from the waters inside it [Gen. 1:6-8], after He divided the light of Day from the darkness of Night. He also set the borders of these celestial lights in the order of the Earth's cycle of Day and Night [v. 16-17], where the order of the Solstice provides the longest days and shortest nights in the north and southern hemispheres, of our planet Earth. The dragon's power is great, but the power of our Heavenly Father is greater than the entire realm of evil spirits, and He has given us the fullness of this power in His only begotten Son Christ Jesus. As we wield this spiritual power, we exercise our true supernatural Christian authority over the powers of the darkness of this world. We can see hints of this in the next decan of Aries, called Perseus the breaker, known as Kar Knem, he who fights and subdues. When we come to Orion the Egyptian word is Hag-at, or he who triumphs. No matter the trials that we endure in this world, our ultimate victory is guaranteed by God, as we stay faithful to His Son Jesus Christ.

Orion from Hevelius with the River Eridanus proceeding from his Foot-Star



  The next decan depicts the great celestial river that proceeds from Orion's foot, down to the nether parts of the underworld located in the southern polar reaches. The Egyptian word for Eridanus is Peh-tat, meaning; the mouth of the river that comes out of the foot of Orion.
   In Gemini we find an interesting idea in support of the Biblical theme of this sign. Instead of the twins of which we are familiar, the original message teaches of the redeemer's sufferings and glory, the dual nature of his prophecies both in Scripture and the Stars. The Egyptian word for Gemini is Claustrum Hori or the place of he who comes. This refers to the glory of the Coming Redeemer, something that is lost in the modern vernacular of this sign. As Joseph Seiss also points out:
"In the of Dendera, the figure [of Gemini] is that of a man walking hand in hand with a woman. The same are sometimes called Adam and Eve. But the male figure is not the literal first Adam, but the mystic second Adam the same seed of the woman who everywhere appears in these celestial frescoes. And having identified the masculine figure, there can be no difficulty in identifying the accompanying female figure. The Lamb has a Bride, a wife, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, and destined for an everlasting union with him in glory and dominionzodiac."^{7 [emphasis & brackets mine]}  
  As we have noted the dual significance of the celestial gospel message, first in the shorter annual cycle of the Sun through the ecliptic, and secondly pertaining to the longer precessional cycle, so we should recognize this pattern relating to Gemini. I agree with Siess' conclusion that Jesus Christ, the second Adam is referred to predominantly in reference to the promised seed in the zodiac, linked with the Sun's shorter annual cycle through the year. However, the reference to the first Adam in the Garden of Eden with Eve, fits very well with the precessional cycle, seen as the Age of Gemini preceding the Age of Taurus in the precession of the equinoxes. Eve was the forerunner of  Israel, the Bride of Christ, for whom the Lord laid down his life in sacrifice. The structure of Dendera's zodiac puts the Age of Gemini in the early stages of the progression of precessional ages, preceded by Sirius-seen as a reclining cow with a bright star between its horns overhead. This relates to the time before the Garden of Eden, during the First Heavens and Earth when the Angels of God occupied their First Estate [Job 38:4-7, Jude 6], led by Lucifer the Archangel of light, prior to his fall [Isa. 14:12, Gen . 1:1-2]. We have covered the relevant Biblical Astronomy symbolism of Sirius, and its relation to Orions' Belt stars, also called the "Navigator's Line" [Job 38:12-15], in other studies of this website. The reader can review my studies on The Calendar of the Biblical Patriarchs, under the Menorah section of the article for more details.  

  Canis Major is a prominent decan of Gemini, whose brightest star Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens, bears the Egyptian word Apes, carrying the idea of the Head. This establishes the dual meaning of this word found in the Hebrew text of Job 38: 12-15, and provides the basis of the Sirius or Sothic Calendar in Egypt that we have already studied. As we take note of the both the annual and precessional aspects of the celestial gospel, new insights will open to the student of God's Word written in the heavens.  
   In summary, as we come upon the last book of this Egyptian celestial scroll, Leo the lion bears the Egyptian name Pi-Mentikeon which tells the message of pouring out the divine wrath. Another Egyptian word referring to Leo is Aryo, the rending Lion, which is made plain in Job 38.

Leo the Lion rending Hydra the Serpent Destroyed

Job 38:39-41. 39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? 41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

   This section of the book of Job also reveals the decan of Leo called Corvus the Raven who, as we have seen, with the other carrion-eaters and birds of the field, feasts upon the carcass of Hydra the serpent destroyed. With the last sign of the Biblical zodiac, confirming the witness of the stars that God installed in them, the Astronomy of ancient Egypt speaks loudly in support of both the Scriptures and the heavens, as they declare the Coming Redeemer of Mankind and the glory of God. [Psalm 19:1]
  As we began this study in Virgo and wrapped it up in Leo, we see one purpose of the Great Sphinx, formed as the head of Virgo the Woman, and the body of Leo the Lion- the alpha and omega of the celestial scroll, witnessing to the promised seed of mankind as the first and last way [alpha & omega] of redemption provided by the Creator.
   With the witness of the other monumental elements of the Giza Plateau in unison with this record, we are afforded a most powerful testimony of the Creator's application of His Intelligent Design principles that He incorporated into His Creation. Even the fool can see the undeniable witness of His Omnipotent power, as Paul tells us in his epistle to the Romans.

Romans 1:19-23
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

  The preceding discourse has plainly shown the obvious parallels between the themes and star names of the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew Zodiacs. This evidence stands on  its own in support as a powerful witness to the themes of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy and the Celestial Gospel. But this is not the whole story concerning the Dendera zodiac. As is the case with any zodiac or star map, the axes of the Cardinal Directions must be given to provide us our bearings. It is the lines of the equinox and Solstice, that always show us the 4 points of the compass to the North, South, East and West. Recognition of the axes of the Dendera zodiac provides even further evidence in support of our case, along with some unexpected eye-opening revelations. Lets take a closer look at these axes.

The Axes of the Dendera zodiac 



  The foregoing narrative has focused primarily on the Sun's annual cycle through the 12 houses of the ecliptic during the year. This record of the clockwise motion of the Sun is one level of truth related in the Celestial Gospel,  but there is more. As we mentioned above, there is strong evidence that the ancient Hebrews and Egyptians were also aware of the slower precession of the equinoxes reflecting a knowledge of the Sun's longer counter-clockwise motion through the ecliptic. The Dendera zodiac provides facsinating proof of this, corroborating the themes already expressed in the Sun's annual cycle. This structure is intended as a check and balance of sorts, supporting what we have already learned in the witness of the shorter timeframe of the year. The Sun's precessional movement is highlighted by which sign of the zodiac it rises in at the spring equinox. For the last 2000+ years it has been in Pisces, thus we are presiding in final years of the Piscean Age according to the Sun's precessional movement. The following chart shows how the precessional ages would correlate to the Biblical Administrations, revealing a consistent progression of themes as God's Plan of the Ages unfolds. This provides the overarching context for the plan of redemption and restoration of Mankind, through the redeeming work of Christ-the centerpiece of the the Ages. Our TIMELINE section on the web-site goes into greater detail, explaining the significance of these age-times in God's Plan.   

  This march of the precessional ages is recorded in the Dendera zodiac, in a recognition of the axes built into its structure. The primary axes of the Dendera zodiac are indicated in the graphic below, from Schwaller De Lubicz' seminal analysis of this zodiac, showing the coordination of the precession of the poles with the precession of the equinoxes. As the pole star recedes from the star Thuban of Draco to the current pole, in Polaris of Ursa Minor [little bear] in the center of the graphic, we can see the corresponding precessional ages/years BC marked on the outer circle. The fact that the ancient Egyptians recognized these two poles and their inter-relationship itself, bespeaks a knowledge of the precession phenomea. The role and Biblical Archaeo-astronomical approach to this subject, in one sense, will separate the symbolic details associated with the idol entites of the Egyptian Star Religion, which corrupted the original unity they shared with the Hebrew Star names, that we have just witnessed in the preceding section. 
  Astrology as had a vast corrupting influence on the idea of the precession of the equinoxes. By idolizing the zodiacal signs and blurring the link between the shorter clockwise, and much longer counterclock-wise solar cycles, Astrology not only lacks the ability to accurately distinguish when one precessional age ends and a new age begins, but a clear concept of the relationship between these two zodiacs [tropical and sidereal] is totally lacking of any standard, and no astrologer can agree as to when these two zodiacs were first coordinated "in synch," so to speak. They are thus left in a free-for-all to subjectively determine their own systems according to whatever point they choose to emphasize. This has led to chaos and confusion where divine celestial truths have been obscured. As the Sun moves on the eclipticduring the solar/ tropical year, it moves through the backdrop of "fixed" stars [sidereal zodiac]. These two must be understood BOTH as separate celestial zodiacs, and together in a unified system. The annual solar year lacks meaning without the context of the stellar backdrop of the sidereal zodiac. On the other hand, the very long stellar zodiac

   Lash was not alone in making reference to the axes of the Dendera zodiac, As mentioned above, Schwaller De Lubicz is another scholar who argued in favor of the Egyptian knowledge of precession. He points out 2 hieroglyphs on the outer rim of Dendera's zodiac that mark a line between Aries the Ram and Taurus the Bull, which correlates to a date around 2100 BC, indicating how the Egyptians wanted to mark the transition in precessional ages, in this case from the age of Taurus to that of Aries. "The mere fact that the cult of the Bull [Apis/Mentu] preceded the cult of the Ram [Amon] in Egypt, and that the dates of these cults correspond to the equinoctial positions of their constellations at the appropriate time-approximately 4000 and 2000 BC-is conclusive"⁹ according to Schwaller DeLubicz, that the ancient Egyptians were aware of and applied their knowledge of precession. Lash continues this line of easoning on Dendera's axes as  follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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


 
  This comment by Lash indicates not only the precessional awareness of these ancient astronomers, but also how the precession of the equinoxes provides a window into this galactic alignment. We can see further evidence of this, in the axis indicated by Schwaller De Lubicz  between Taurus and Aries. As this axis extends through the otherside of the zodiac, it brackets Sagittarius and Scorpius in the central point of the Milky Way Galaxy, where the tip of the Horseman's Arrow trains his aim into the dark rift of the galactic heart, as seen in the graphic above. To be clear on this point, the axes of the Dendera zodiac seem to be designed to point any learned observers attention to the importance of Spica/Al Zemach and Sirius in decoding this star map. Relating to Spica it is apparent that the axis is pointed towards the Age of Pisces, whose inception witnessed the birth of Jesus Christ the Promised seed, marked by 2 rare triple  planetary conjunctions both involving Jupiter. The culmination of the Piscean Age is marked also by this axis, at the other end of Dendera's zodiac marking Sagittarius and Scorpius, pictured above in December 21st, 2012, even as it is marked by the Mayan astronomers, as the end of their 5th Age. This is an obvious eye-opener, which is further corroborated by Lash below!   
   As Lash points out, the precessional half cycle of 12,960 years back in history from today, brings us to 10,500 BC. In fact Lash believes that Spica was designed among other things, to act as a pointer towards this galactic alignment as seen in his following summation:

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

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

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

This section of the web-site is designed to encapsulate a relation between the names of the 12 main zodiacal signs and some of their key stars, along with selected names of each decan , as they occur in God's Word. Esta sección del sitio web está diseñado para encapsular una relación entre los nombres de los 12 signos zodiacales principales y algunas de sus estrellas principales, junto con los nombres seleccionados de cada decanato , como ocurren en la Palabra de Dios. As the separate scenes of this great celestial showcase unfold, we begin to get a sense for the individual threads of the master theme that together, form the sweeping tapestry of the truth of the ages. Como las escenas por separado de este escaparate celestial gran despliegue, comenzamos a tener una idea de los hilos individuales del tema principal que en conjunto, forman el tapiz de barrido de la verdad de los tiempos. Frances Rolleston summarizes (see link above) the ancient narrative of the 12 Zodiacal Signs, starting with Virgo and ending with Leo , as follows : Frances Rolleston resume (ver link arriba), la antigua narración de los 12 signos zodiacales, a partir de Virgo y termina con Leo, de la siguiente manera:

This is the timeless theme of the celestial gospel that has been unfolding in the heavens since antiquity. Este es el clásico tema del evangelio celestial que se ha venido desarrollando en los cielos desde la antigüedad. The cycles of the heavenly bodies have continued to relate their truths for all men to see, but alas, few have understood because this system of truth has remained a mystery for so long.These truths are revealed when we follow the Research Principles we have outlined in the Reference Section of this web-site. Los ciclos de los cuerpos celestes han seguido para relacionar sus verdades para todos los hombres a ver, pero por desgracia, muy pocos han comprendido ya que este sistema de la verdad ha sido un misterio para las verdades que se revelan long.These cuando seguimos los Principios de la investigación que hemos descrito en la sección de referencia de este sitio web. As we work the stellar elements of the records in God's Word that reveal and verify the celestial details of these prophecies, we will find great truths in the related Hebrew, or Greek words associated first, with the Sign of the zodiac , secondly with the Biblical and ancient Name of the Sign , and thirdly with the word or root associated with the ancient Star Names of each Sign. A medida que trabajamos los elementos estelares de los registros de la Palabra de Dios que revela y verificar los detalles celestes de estas profecías, nos encontraremos con grandes verdades de la palabra hebrea relacionada, o palabras griegas asociados en primer lugar, con el signo de la zodiac , en segundo lugar con la Biblia y el nombre antiguo de la sesión, y en tercer lugar con la palabra o raíz asociada con los nombres de estrellas antiguas de cada sesión. This pattern of study holds true for each decan of these 12 Signs as well. Este modelo de estudio es válido para cada decanato de los 12 signos también. Many of these Bible references are found in Rolleston's " Mazzaroth ," a truly monumental piece of research that has not received its due over the years. Muchas de estas referencias de la Biblia se encuentran en Rolleston de "Mazzaroth", una pieza verdaderamente monumental de la investigación que no ha recibido su merecido en los últimos años. Much of this information including a full handling of each decan of these signs, can also be verified in Bullinger's: Witness of the Stars , (see link above) along with Joseph Seiss' Gospel in the Stars . We have also included some verses that are not in any of these references. Gran parte de esta información, incluyendo un manejo completo de cada decanato de estos signos, también se puede verificar en Bullinger:. Testigo de las Estrellas, (ver link arriba) junto con el Evangelio de José Seiss en las estrellas que también han incluido algunos versos que son no en cualquiera de estas referencias. We will focus on an overview of the twelve primary Signs and handle some of their key decans in this study. Nos centraremos en una visión general de los doce signos primarios y manejar algunos de sus principales decanos en este estudio. A more detailed handling of this subject matter will be found in a forthcoming Biblical Astronomy Star Atlas . Un tratamiento más detallado de este tema se encuentra en una próxima bíblica Astronomía Estrella Atlas. What Rolleston has provided in condensed tables, is expanded upon here by providing important Scripture references, that emphasize some celestial elements not covered in the same sense by Bullinger or Seiss. ¿Qué Rolleston ha proporcionado en las tablas de condensados, se amplía en esta situación facilitando referencias importantes las Escrituras, que hacen hincapié en algunos elementos celestes no están cubiertos en el mismo sentido por Bullinger o Seiss. Our web-site has paid particular attention to the message of the signs surrounding the birth of Christ. Nuestro sitio web ha prestado especial atención al mensaje de los signos que rodean el nacimiento de Cristo. These lessons have guided us on a clear path that has uncovered unique and insightful truths along the way. Estas lecciones nos han guiado en un camino claro que ha puesto al descubierto las verdades únicas y profundas en el camino. This study is another step in that exciting journey. Este estudio es otro paso en ese viaje emocionante. We will begin our narrative with Aries the Ram whose significance is noted early on in connection with Abel's sacrifice in Genesis 4. Vamos a comenzar nuestro relato con Aries, el carnero cuyo significado se observa de manera temprana en relación con el sacrificio de Abel en Génesis 4.

Gen. 4:3-4 Gen. 4:3-4

3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 3 Y en el transcurso del tiempo aconteció, que Caín trajo del fruto de la tierra una ofrenda a Jehová. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. 4 Y Abel trajo también de los primogénitos de sus ovejas y de su grosura. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: Y el Señor le había respeto a Abel ya su ofrenda;

God's system of a sacrificial substitute to redeem man, has been around since man needed redeeming. The Ram is also important when we come to Abraham's sacrifice. El sistema de Dios de un sustituto de sacrificio para redimir al hombre, ha sido de alrededor desde que el hombre necesita redención. El Carnero también es importante cuando llegamos a el sacrificio de Abraham.

Gen. 22:11-18 Génesis 22:11-18

11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 11 Y el ángel de Jehová le dio voces desde el cielo, y dijo: Abraham, Abraham, y dijo: Heme aquí 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 12 Y él dijo: No extiendas tu mano sobre el muchacho, ni le hagas nada a él: porque ya conozco que temes a Dios, al ver que no me has rehusado tu hijo, tu único hijo de mi parte. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 13 Entonces alzó Abraham sus ojos, y miró, y vio sus espaldas un carnero trabado en un zarzal por sus cuernos: y fue Abraham y tomó el carnero, y le ofreció para el holocausto en el lugar de su hijo. 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh : as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. 14 Y llamó Abraham el nombre de aquel lugar, Jehová proveerá: como se dice hoy: En el monte de Jehová será provisto. 15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son : 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 15 Y el ángel del Señor llamó a Abraham desde el cielo por segunda vez, 16 y dijo: Por mí mismo he jurado, dice Jehová, que por cuanto has hecho esto, y no me has rehusado tu hijo, tu único hijo; 17 Que la bendición te bendeciré, y multiplicaré tu descendencia como las estrellas del cielo y como la arena que está a la orilla del mar, y tu descendencia poseerá las puertas de sus enemigos, 18, ​​y en tu semillas de todas las naciones de la tierra serán bendecidas, porque has obedecido a mi voz.

Even as Abraham, the progenitor of the genetics of the Christ-line, did not withold his only Son from God in this record, so the Heavenly Father did not withold his only begotten Son to redeem us. Así como Abraham, el progenitor de la genética de la línea de Cristo, no ocultó su Hijo único de Dios en este registro, por lo que el Padre Celestial no le retuvo a su Hijo unigénito para redimirnos. " Jehovah-jireh" in verse 14 above, the redemptive name of God meaning; "the Lord provides," occurs here to emphasize the sacrifical substitute of the Ram provided by God, foreshadowing the Old Testament Passover lamb, which was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the lamb of God. "Jehová proveerá" en el versículo 14, el nombre redentor del sentido de Dios, "el Señor provee", se produce aquí hacer hincapié en la sustitución sacrificial de la Ram siempre por Dios, anunciando el Antiguo Testamento, cordero de la Pascua, la cual fue cumplida por Jesucristo , el cordero de Dios. Abraham's believing actions here were neccessary for God to begin to bring the celestial narrative to pass, so that the promised seed could be born. Acciones creyente Abraham aquí eran necesarias para que Dios comienza a llevar la narrativa celestial para pasar, para que la simiente prometida pudiera nacer. Thus, Abraham's promised seed is compared to the "stars of heaven and the sand upon the seashore," referring to the heavenly and earthly seeds which are detailed later in the celestial prophecies. Por lo tanto, la simiente prometida de Abraham se compara con las "estrellas del cielo y la arena en la orilla del mar", en referencia a las semillas celestiales y terrenales que se detallan más adelante en las profecías celestiales. In Abraham's seed, all the nations of the Earth are blessed, according to their believing concerning the promised seed Jesus Christ. The symbolism of the sacrificial ram continues in the Mosaic Law as quoted from Leviticus . En la simiente de Abraham, todas las naciones de la Tierra son bendecidos, de acuerdo a su creencia sobre la semilla prometida a Jesucristo. El simbolismo del carnero sacrificado continúa en la ley mosaica como cita de Levítico. The Hebrew word associated with the star El Nath of Aries, emphasizing the Lord's sacrifice, occurs in verse 20. La palabra hebrea asociada con la estrella de El Nath de Aries, haciendo hincapié en el sacrificio del Señor, se da en el versículo 20.

18 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 18 Y sacó el carnero del holocausto, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero. 19 And he killed it ; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 19 Y él lo mató, y roció Moisés la sangre sobre el altar alrededor. 20 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 20 Y cortó el carnero en pedazos, y Moisés hizo arder la cabeza, y los trozos, y la grasa. 21 And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 21 Y les lavó los intestinos y las piernas en el agua, y Moisés quemó todo el carnero sobre el altar: es un holocausto en olor de suavidad, y una ofrenda encendida a Jehová, como Jehová lo había mandado a Moisés. 22 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 22 Y metió el otro carnero, el carnero de las consagraciones, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero. 23 And he slew it ; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. 23 Y él lo mató, y Moisés tomó la sangre de él, y lo puso sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha de Aarón, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el dedo pulgar de su pie derecho. 24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 24 E hizo venir los hijos de Aarón, y puso Moisés de la sangre sobre el lóbulo de su oreja derecha, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre los dedos gordos de sus pies derechos: y roció Moisés la sangre sobre el altar en derredor . 25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder: 26 And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder: 27 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons'hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 25 Y tomó la grasa, y la cola, y todo el sebo que estaba sobre los intestinos, y la grosura del hígado, y los dos riñones y su grasa, y el hombro derecho: 26 Y del canastillo de los ázimos pan, que estaba delante de Jehová, tomó una torta sin levadura, y una torta de pan de aceite, y la oblea, y los puso en la grasa, y sobre el hombro derecho: 27 Y lo puso todo en manos de Aarón, y sobre su sons'hands, y saludó con la mano como ofrenda mecida delante de Jehová. 28 And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28 Y Moisés les llevó desde fuera de sus manos, y los quemó en el altar sobre el holocausto: las consagraciones fueron en olor de suavidad: se trata de una ofrenda encendida a Jehová. 29 And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses'part, as the LORD commanded Moses. 29 Entonces Moisés tomó el pecho y lo meció, ofrenda mecida delante de Jehová; del carnero de la consagración se Moses'part, como Jehová lo había mandado a Moisés.

These verses show the Ram of Aries as a central concept related to the idea of a sacrificial substitute, starting with Adam's first son's, through Abraham, to Moses and finally to Jesus Christ the perfect sacrificial Lamb of God. Estos versículos muestran el Carnero de Aries como un concepto central en relación con la idea de un sustituto de sacrificio, a partir de la primer hijo de Adán, a través de Abraham, a Moisés y, finalmente, a Jesucristo el Cordero del sacrificio perfecto de Dios. As the embodiment of the Passover Lamb, Jesus fulfilled every aspect of the Old Testament Law covered in Leviticus 8, referenced above. Como la encarnación del Cordero de la Pascua, Jesús cumplió con todos los aspectos de la Ley del Antiguo Testamento cubiertos en Levítico 8, hace referencia más arriba. We can see this idea carried over into the New Testament book of John. Podemos ver esta idea prorrogados en el libro del Nuevo Testamento de Juan.

John 1:26-34 Juan 1:26-34

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 26 Juan les respondió, diciendo: Yo bautizo con agua, pero no está uno de vosotros, a quien vosotros no conocéis, 27 Él es el que viene después de mí, es antes de mí, cuyo calzado correa yo no soy digno de desatar. 28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 28 Estas cosas sucedieron en Betabara otro lado del Jordán, donde Juan estaba bautizando. 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 29 Al día siguiente vio Juan a Jesús que venía hacia él y dijo: He aquí el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 30 Este es aquel de quien yo dije: Detrás de mí viene un varón, el cual es antes de mí, porque existía antes que yo. 31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 31 Y yo no le conocía, pero que él fuese manifestado a Israel, por eso vine yo bautizando con agua. 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 32 Y Juan dió testimonio, diciendo: Vi al Espíritu que descendía del cielo como una paloma y permaneció sobre él. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 33 Y yo no le conocía pero el que me envió a bautizar con agua, lo mismo me dijo: Aquel sobre quien vieres descender el Espíritu y permanecer sobre él, ése es el que bautiza con el Espíritu Santo. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. 34 Y miré, y testimonio de que éste es el Hijo de Dios.

John the Baptist certainly had a strong witness as to the identity of the Son of God as he witnessed the spirit descending upon Jesus in the form of a dove, accompanied by the affirmation of God, Who said: "this is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased." Juan el Bautista tenía ciertamente un fuerte testimonio de la identidad del Hijo de Dios cuando vio que el Espíritu bajaba sobre Jesús en forma de una paloma, acompañado por la afirmación de Dios, que dijo: "Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien estoy muy complacido. "
Next we will consider Taurus the Bull . A continuación vamos a considerar Tauro, el Toro. In the prophecy of Balaam below, we find he the four-corners, or pillars of heaven laid out in the Water-carrier Aquarius in verse 7, Taurus the Bull (reem) in verse 8, and Leo the lion in verse 9. En la profecía de Balaam a continuación, nos encontramos con que las cuatro esquinas, o en los pilares de los cielos establecidos en el Acuario de Agua-carrier en el versículo 7, Tauro, el Toro (Reem) en el versículo 8, y Leo el león en el versículo 9. The sign of the North in the Tribe of Dan, is omitted for a number of reasons expounded on in other sections of this web-site. Taurus ' role as one of these celestial pillars and precessional markers, is central in understanding its Biblical and stellar significance. El signo del Norte en la tribu de Dan, se omite un número de razones expuestas en otras secciones de la función de este sitio web. Taurus "como uno de los pilares celestes y los marcadores de precesión, es central en la comprensión de la Biblia y su estelar significado.

Leo the Lion of the Tribe of Judah with Regulus the brightest Star on the ecliptic Leo el León de la Tribu de Judá, con Régulo la estrella más brillante en la eclíptica



Numbers 24:8-9 Números 24:8-9

5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! 5 ¡Cuán hermosas son tus tiendas, Jacob, y tus moradas, Israel! 6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. 6 Como arroyos están extendidas, Como huertos junto al río, como los árboles del áloe lign que el Señor ha plantado y, como cedros junto a las aguas. 7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters , and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 7 Él derramará el agua de sus cubetas, y su descendencia será en muchas aguas, y su rey más que Agag, Y su reino será ensalzado. 8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up ? 8 Dios lo sacó de Egipto, que tiene como si fuera la fuerza de un unicornio:. Devorará a las naciones enemigas, y se rompen sus huesos, Y las traspasará con sus saetas 9 El redactado, se acostó como un león, y como leona: ¿quién lo despertará? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. Bienaventurado el que te bendijeren, y malditos los que te maldigan.

Taurus the Bull is also evident in the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy . Tauro, el toro también es evidente en el Cántico de Moisés en el Deuteronomio.

Deut. Deut. 33:13-17 33:13-17

13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills , 16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush : let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. 13 Y á José dijo: Bendita de Jehová sea tu tierra, por los regalos de los cielos, el rocío, y con el abismo que abajo yace, 14 Y para los más escogidos frutos del sol, y por el valioso las cosas planteadas por la luna, 15 Y por la cabeza de los montes antiguos, y por los regalos de los collados eternos, 16 Y por los regalos de la tierra y su plenitud, y por la buena voluntad del que habitó en el monte: que la bendición venga sobre la cabeza de José, y en la parte superior de la cabeza del que se separó de sus hermanos. 17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 17 Su gloria es como el primogénito de su toro, y sus cuernos, cuernos de unicornio: Con ellos se empujan a la gente junto a los confines de la tierra: y estos son los diez millares de Efraín, y ellos son los millares de Manasés.

Here in Moses' Song , he uses the same language found in Numbers in the horns of the "reem" or " Unicorn, " as the KJV renders it. Aquí en la canción de Moisés, que él utiliza el mismo lenguaje en números en los cuernos de la "Reem" o "Unicornio", como la RV que presta. It is certainly plain that the popularly imagined unicorn, the mythical beast, is not pictured with more than one horn , but the Bull is. Sin duda, es evidente que el popular imaginado unicornio, el animal mítico, no se representa con más de un cuerno, pero es el toro. These Bull horns are identified as the sons of Joseph in verse 17. Estos cuernos de toro son identificados como los hijos de José, en el versículo 17. The reference in verse 15 to the " chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills," refer directly to the most famous star cluster in the history of astronomy, called the Pleiades . La referencia en el versículo 15 que "las cosas de los montes antiguos, y por los regalos de los collados eternos," se refieren directamente al cúmulo estelar más famoso de la historia de la astronomía, llama a las Pléyades. This star group located in the upper shoulder of Taurus , is one of the signs specifically named in the Book of Job , the Bible's oldest book. Este grupo de estrellas situado en la parte superior del hombro de Tauro, es uno de los signos mencionados concretamente en el Libro de Job, el libro más antiguo de la Biblia.

Las Pléyades, el cúmulo estelar más famoso de la historia

Job 9:7-9 Job 9:7-9

7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 7 ¿Qué manda al sol, y no sale, y sella las estrellas. 8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades , and the chambers of the south. 8 ¿Cuál solo extiende los cielos, y holla las olas del mar. 9 ¿Qué hace salir Arcturus, de Orión y las Pléyades, y las cámaras del sur.

This is one of a number of specific references made to the Pleiades in God's Word. Este es uno de una serie de referencias específicas hechas a las Pléyades en la Palabra de Dios. The name Pleiades means the " congregation of the judge." We should also notice in verses 7-8 above that it was God alone Who spread out the heavens, and sealed up the names of the stars, [ Ps. Las Pléyades nombre significa la "congregación de los jueces." También debemos notar en los versículos 7-8 arriba que era Dios quien extendió los cielos, y sellados los nombres de las estrellas, [Ps. 147:4 ]. 147:4]. Verse 7 above plainly states that the Creator is the One in control of the Sun, which is proved in the miracle of the Sun going backwards on the Sundial of Ahaz in Isaiah 38:7-8 . The celestial symbolism of the Bull also appears in the context of the four-corners or heavenly pillars, in the furniture of Israel's Temple, in what is known as the Brasen Sea. El versículo 7 dice claramente por encima de que el Creador es el que tiene el control del Sol, que se demuestra en el milagro del Sol yendo hacia atrás en el reloj de Acaz, Isaías 38:7-8 en. El simbolismo celestial del Toro también aparece en el contexto de las cuatro esquinas o pilares celestial, en el mobiliario del Templo de Israel, en lo que se conoce como el mar de bronce. We find details of this in I Kings 7. Nos encontramos con los detalles de esto en I Reyes 7.

I Kings 7:23-30 I Reyes 7:23-30

23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 23 Y él hizo un mar de fundición, de diez codos desde el borde de uno a otro: se trata de ronda, y su altura era de cinco codos, y un cordón de treinta codos lo que alrededor de la brújula. 24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 24 Y en el borde de ella alrededor había Knops compassing que, diez en cada codo, compassing la ronda de mar sobre: ​​la Knops fueron lanzados en dos filas, cuando fue lanzado. 25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 25 se situó sobre doce bueyes, tres mirando hacia el norte y tres al oeste, y tres al sur y tres al oriente: y el mar se estableció por encima de ellos, y todas sus partes traseras hacia el interior se . 26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. 26 Y se trataba de un palmo de grosor, y el borde de los mismos era labrado como el borde de un cáliz, con la flor de lis: contenía dos mil batos. 27 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 27 Hizo también diez bases de bronce, cuatro codos la longitud de una base y cuatro codos su anchura, y de tres codos la altura de la misma. 28 And the work of the bases was on this manner : they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: 29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 28 Y el trabajo de las bases fue de esta manera: tenían bordes y las fronteras estaban entre las molduras: 29 Y en los bordes que estaban entre las molduras había leones, bueyes y querubines; y sobre las repisas había una base arriba, y debajo de los leones y bueyes eran ciertas adiciones hechas de trabajo fino. 30 And every base had four brazen wheels , and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition. 30 Y cada base tenía cuatro ruedas de bronce, y las placas de bronce, y sus cuatro esquinas había undersetters: debajo de la pila se undersetters fundido, al lado de cada adición.

The "line of thirty cubits" in verse 23 refers to the Hebrew's ancient knowledge of the pi ratio as it is applied in the Hebrew Temple, also found in reference to the great brass pillars Jachin and Boaz [ I Kings 7:15 ], at the Temple's entrance. El "cordón de treinta codos" en el versículo 23 se refiere al conocimiento del hebreo antiguo de la relación pi tal como se aplica en el Templo hebreo, también se encuentran en referencia a los grandes pilares de bronce Jakim y Boaz [I Reyes 07:15], en el Templo de la entrada. This famous ratio governing the relation of the diameter to the circumference rules over these great cylindrical pillars, as well as the great round brass basin called the brazen Sea. Esta relación de famosos que rigen la relación entre el diámetro de la circunferencia de la normativa sobre estos pilares cilíndricos grandes, así como la cuenca de latón redonda grande llamado el Mar de bronce. This is covered in more detail in our " Pi in the Sky " article under the "Natural Law" section of this site. Esto se explica en más detalle en nuestro "Pi en el cielo", el artículo bajo la "Ley Natural" de este sitio. The appearance of the oxen both on the base and borders of "the Sea," mirorring to the four Cardinal Directions is a symbol for the precessional Age of Taurus, that we have repeatedly encountered throughout our study. La aparición de los bueyes, tanto en la base y los bordes de la "mar", mirorring a los cuatro puntos cardinales es un símbolo de la Edad de precesión de Tauro, que en repetidas ocasiones hemos encontrado a lo largo de nuestro estudio. The fact that the Cherubim are mentioned in the same breath as the lions and oxen in the symbolic design of the Brazen Sea and its base, reminds us of Ezekiel's vision of the four living creatures at the river Chebar. El hecho de que los querubines se mencionan en la misma categoría que los leones y bueyes en el diseño simbólico del mar de bronce y su base, nos recuerda la visión de Ezequiel de los cuatro seres vivientes en el río Quebar. In his vision each of the Cherubims four faces matched the signs of the four celestial pillars [ Ezek. En su visión de cada uno de los querubines cuatro caras coincidía con la firma de los cuatro pilares celestial [Ez. 1:4-28, 10:1-22 ]. I Kings 7:30 above also tells us of the relation of the four wheels at the base of the Brasen Sea as they relate to the Cherubim, [ Ezek. 1:4-28, 10:1-22]. I Reyes 7:30 también nos dice que por encima de la relación de las cuatro ruedas en la base de la mar de bronce que se relacionan con los querubines, [Ez. 10:9-17 ]. 10:9-17]. The details of Ezekiel's cryptic vision can only be understood in light of the celestial symbolism of the millennial Temple. Los detalles de la visión de Ezequiel críptica sólo puede entenderse a la luz del simbolismo celestial del templo milenario. We will look into this in greater detail in the section of this web-site dedicated to the Celestial Symbolism of the Temple and Tabernacle . One of the main stars of Taurus the Bull is called Aldebaran , the Bull's Eye, which refers to the "subduing power of the king." Vamos a ver esto en mayor detalle en la sección de este sitio web dedicado al simbolismo celestial del Templo y Sagrario. Una de las principales estrellas de Tauro, el toro se llama Aldebarán, el ojo del toro, que se refiere a la sumisión " poder del rey. " This star was known as one of the four Royal Stars in Persian astronomy, at the four-corners of heaven. Esta estrella era conocida como una de las cuatro estrellas Royal en la astronomía Pérsico, en las esquinas de cuatro de los cielos. We find elements of this in Psalm 89 , where the Hebrew root for Aldebaran occurs in verse 18. Nos encontramos con elementos de esto en el Salmo 89, donde la raíz hebrea de Aldebaran se presenta en el versículo 18.

Psalm 89:16-29 Salmo 89:16-29

16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 16 En tu nombre se alegrarán todo el día, y en tu justicia será enaltecido. 17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 17 Porque tú eres la gloria de su fortaleza y en tu favor nuestro cuerno será ensalzado. 18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king . 18 Porque el Señor es nuestro escudo, y el Santo de Israel nuestro rey. 19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 19 Entonces hablaste en visión á tu santo, Y dijiste: Yo he puesto el socorro sobre uno que es poderoso; He ensalzado un escogido de mi pueblo. 20 I have found David my servant ; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 20 He hallado a David mi siervo, con mi óleo santo le he ungido: 21 con los que mi mano estará siempre: mi brazo también lo fortalecerá. 22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 22 El enemigo no exactamente sobre él, ni hijo de iniquidad lo quebrantará. 23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 23 Y vencer a sus enemigos antes de su rostro, y la peste de los que le odian. 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted . 24 Y mi verdad y mi misericordia serán con él, y en mi nombre, nacerá el cuerno será ensalzado. 25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 25 Asimismo pondré su mano en la mar, y su mano derecha en los ríos. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 26 El me llamará a mí, Tú eres mi padre, mi Dios, y la roca de mi salvación. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 27 También yo le pondré por primogénito, Alto sobre los reyes de la tierra. 28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 28 Mi misericordia se le conservaré para siempre, y mi alianza será firme con él. 29 His seed also will I make to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 29 su descendencia pondré para siempre, y su trono como los días de los cielos.

We will see more of the significance of these four-corners of the heavens as our study progresses. Vamos a ver más de la importancia de estas cuatro esquinas de los cielos como nuestro estudio avanza. As we have just witnessed in Job 9 above, the Pleiades are mentioned along with Orion . Como hemos sido testigos de Job 9, las Pléyades son mencionadas junto con Orión. We find this pattern holding true later in the Book of Job as well. Nos encontramos con este patrón de espera real más adelante en el libro de Job también. Next we will look at Orion , which is one of the Constellation s specifically named in only the book of the Patriarchal Age, the Book of Job. A continuación vamos a ver Orión, que es una de las constelaciones s expresamente mencionados en el único libro de la Era Patriarcal, el Libro de Job.

Job 38:31-33 Job 38:31-33

31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion ? 31 Tú puedes obligar a la dulce influencia de las Pléyades, o desatar las ligaduras de Orión? 32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season ? 32 ¿Puedes traer Mazzaroth en su tiempo? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons ? o puedes Arcturus guía tú con sus hijos? 33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ? 33 ¿Sabes tú las ordenanzas de los cielos? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the Earth ? tú puedes establecer el dominio de los mismos en la Tierra?

The decan of Orion El decanato de Orión

The original meaning of Orion is " coming forth as light ." El significado original de Orión es "surge como la luz." The same word is used in Genesis. La misma palabra es usada en Génesis. 1:17 and Isa. 01:17 y Isa. 60:1, referring to the light of the celestial luminaries. 60:1, refiriéndose a la luz de las luminarias celestes. In this sense it is almost a generic term for the light of all the stars , an interesting point as we consider the symbolism of Orion in connection with the power of both the fallen and risen Morning Stars. En este sentido, es casi un término genérico para la luz de todas las estrellas, un punto interesante al considerar el simbolismo de Orion en relación con la potencia de los Luceros de la Mañana caído y resucitado. This original meaning of Orion will really hit home when we consider the alignments of the Star Shafts of the Great Pyramid, on the stars of Orion and Draco in particular, in our section of the website devoted to the Biblical Astronomy of Great Pyramid . Este significado original de Orion realmente dio en el blanco si tenemos en cuenta las alineaciones de los ejes estrella de la Gran Pirámide, en las estrellas de Orión y Draco, en particular, en nuestra sección de la página web dedicada a la Biblia de Astronomía de la Gran Pirámide. We have also discussed in detail the relation between Orion & Sirius the brightest star in the heavens, refering to the stars of the " Navigators line, " or Orion's three belt stars , in the section of our site entitled the Calendar of the Biblical Patriarchs. The root word for Sirius [ sar ] is used in Isaiah 9 , in this famed prophecy concerning the prince of peace . También hemos discutido en detalle la relación entre Orión y Sirio, la estrella más brillante en el cielo, en referencia a las estrellas de la "línea de Navegantes", o tres de Orión estrellas del cinturón, en la sección de nuestro sitio titulado Calendario de los patriarcas bíblicos. La raíz de Sirius [César] es usada en Isaías 9, en esta profecía sobre el famoso príncipe de la paz.

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace . 6 Porque un niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado sobre su hombro: y su nombre será llamado Admirable, Consejero, Dios fuerte, Padre eterno, Príncipe de Paz. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David , and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. 7 Lo dilatado de su imperio y la paz no tendrán límite, sobre el trono de David y sobre su reino, disponiéndolo y confirmándolo en juicio y en justicia desde ahora y para siempre. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. El celo de Jehová de los ejércitos hará esto.

The glory of the Prince of Peace is everlasting, and it begins with the Lord's destruction of the enemy and all his works. La gloria del Príncipe de la Paz es para siempre, y comienza con la destrucción del Señor de los enemigos y todas sus obras. We can see evidence of this along with his sufferings, in Gemini . The sign of Gemini the twins, carries a sense in Biblical symbolism of the dual nature of Jesus as both King and High Priest. Podemos ver evidencia de esto, junto con sus sufrimientos, en Géminis. El signo de Géminis los gemelos, tiene un sentido en el simbolismo bíblico de la naturaleza dual de Jesús como Rey y Sumo Sacerdote. These two elements of the Lord's ministry are seen as he is the perfect sacrifice wherein, the High Priest himself became the one-time offering for mankind, while the King refers to his absolute glorious rule over all aspects of God's creation. Estos dos elementos del ministerio del Señor son vistos como la que él es el sacrificio perfecto, el mismo Sumo Sacerdote se convirtió en la oferta de una sola vez para la humanidad, mientras que el Rey se refiere a su poder absoluto sobre todos los aspectos gloriosos de la creación de Dios. We find this in the star Mebsuta of Gemini , which means, " treading underfoot ," referring to Christ Jesus' destruction of the spiritual powers of darkness. Encontramos esto en la Mebsuta estrella de Géminis, lo que significa, "pisando bajo sus pies", en referencia a la destrucción de Cristo Jesús de los poderes espirituales de las tinieblas. We find evidence of this in Isaiah 14 . Encontramos evidencia de esto en Isaías 14.

Isaiah 14:12-20 Isaías 14:12-20

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 12 ¡Cómo caíste del cielo, oh Lucero, hijo de la mañana! Cortado fuiste por tierra, tú que debilitabas a las naciones! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 13 Tú que decías en tu corazón: Subiré al cielo, levantaré mi trono por encima de las estrellas de Dios, me sentaré en el monte de la congregación, a los lados del norte; 14 Subiré a la alturas de las nubes, seré semejante al Altísimo. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 15 Mas tú derribado eres hasta el Seol, a los lados del abismo. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 16 Los que te vea limitada mirarán a ti, y te considerarán diciendo: ¿Es este el hombre que hizo temblar la tierra, que trastornaba los reinos; 17 que puso el mundo como un desierto, que asoló sus ciudades, que se abrió no la casa de sus prisioneros? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 18 Todos los reyes de las naciones, incluso todos ellos yacen con honra cada uno en su propia casa. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet . 19 Pero tú echado eres de tu sepulcro como tronco abominable, como vestido de los que están muertos, atravesado con una espada, que descendieron al fondo de la sepultura, como un canal pisoteada bajo los pies. 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 20 ¿no serás contado con ellos en la sepultura, porque tú destruiste tu tierra, mataste a tu pueblo: la semilla de los malhechores jamás será reconocido.

The imagery of the promised seed treading the serpent underfoot of course is consistent with the first prophecy of the conflict with the serpent in Genesis 3:15 . Las imágenes de la simiente prometida pisando la serpiente bajo sus pies, por supuesto, es consistente con la primera profecía del conflicto con la serpiente en Génesis 3:15. We noticed earlier in reference to the celestial pillars or four cardinal points of the horizon, that the North was omitted. Isaiah 14:13 above may give us a clue as to why. Hemos notado anteriormente en referencia a los pilares celestes o cuatro puntos cardinales del horizonte, que el Norte se omitió. Isaías 14:13 anteriormente pueden darnos una idea de por qué. The North symbolized God's holy habitations in His High Mountain that Lucifer had designs on in his failed coup. El Norte simboliza viviendas santo de Dios en su alta montaña que Lucifer había diseños en su fallido golpe de Estado. We have already seen some of the celestial symbolism in the pole precession, relating the truths of Lucifer's former brilliance as a resident of "the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north." Thuban the archaic pole-star in Draco , has been stripped of his former glory and the star Polaris of Ursa Minor , under the feet of Cepheus the crowned king and promised seed, now holds this pole position, the former "gate of his enemies, " as Genesis 22:17 stated earlier. Ya hemos visto algunos de los símbolos celestes en la precesión de polo, sobre las verdades de la brillantez original de Lucifer como un residente de "el monte de la congregación, en los lados del norte." Thuban lo arcaico estrella polar en Draco, ha sido despojado de su antigua gloria y la estrella Polaris de la Osa Menor, a los pies de Cefeo rey coronado y simiente prometida, ahora tiene esta pole, la primera "puerta de sus enemigos", como se dijo anteriormente Génesis 22:17. This may explain why the North was omitted in Numbers 24 , referring to the celestial pillars, until the rise of the new Morning Star and the realization of the authority and dominion of Jesus as the promised seed. Esto puede explicar por qué el Norte se omitió en Números 24, en referencia a los pilares celestes, hasta el surgimiento de la nueva estrella de la mañana y la realización de la autoridad y el poder de Jesús como la simiente prometida. This is a truth that the serpent has always attempted to hide, as we can see in our look at the next zodiacal Sign of Cancer. The sign "Cancer" as a Crab is a late revision of the earlier symbol of this sign. Esta es una verdad que la serpiente siempre ha tratado de ocultar, como podemos ver en nuestra mirada en el signo zodiacal de Cáncer siguiente. El signo "cáncer", como un cangrejo es una revisión a finales del símbolo antes de este signo. The original meaning linked to this Sign is found in two of its stars called Asselus Borealis and Asselus Australis , or the Northern and Southern Asses. El significado original relacionado con este signo se encuentra en dos de sus estrellas llamado Borealis y Australis Asselus Asselus, o los asnos del Norte y del Sur. This gives us a much clearer picture of the first meaning of the Sign, as the Sheep or cattlefolds as the purchased possessions of the lord, or his assembled thousands. Esto nos da una imagen mucho más clara de la primera acepción de la sesión, como la oveja o cattlefolds como los bienes adquiridos del señor, o sus miles reunidos. Since there is no equivalent Hebrew word for "crab" we can see it did not originate from the Hebrew or Aramaic. Puesto que no hay palabra hebrea equivalente a "cangrejo", podemos ver que no se originó en el hebreo o arameo. We find evidence of its original meaning in Genesis 49 . Encontramos evidencia de su significado original en Génesis 49.

Genesis 49:11-12 Génesis 49:11-12

11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 11 Encuadernación su potro a la vid y el pollino de su culo a la Viña elegida, se lavaba su ropa en vino, y sus ropas en la sangre de uvas: 12 Sus ojos, rojos del vino, y sus dientes blancos de la leche.

The details of the celestial symbolism of the asses colt & its relation to Jesus' two entries into Jerusalem are found in my book on The Season of the Morning Star. We can recall the symbolic act of the Lord washing his garments in wine and the blood of grapes, as a reference to the King of kings returning in judgment to execute the fierce wrath of the Heavenly Father. Los detalles del simbolismo celestial del potro y evaluar su relación con dos de Jesús en Jerusalén, las entradas se encuentran en mi libro sobre la temporada de la Estrella de la Mañana. Podemos recordar el acto simbólico del Señor de lavar su ropa en vino y la sangre de uvas, como una referencia al Rey de reyes que regresan en el juicio para ejecutar el furor de la ira del Padre Celestial. This speaks directly to the message of the Sign Cancer as the Lord coming quickly in judgment of the earth. The next sign we will look at is Leo the Lion. Esto habla directamente el mensaje del signo de Cáncer como el Señor viene pronto en el juicio de la tierra. El siguiente signo vamos a ver es Leo el León. Jesus is of course called the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" in Revelation 5:5 . Jesús es, por supuesto, llamado el "León de la tribu de Judá" en Apocalipsis 05:05. A central prophecy in reference to this lion occurs in Genesis 49 . Una profecía central en referencia a este león se presenta en Génesis 49.

Genesis 49:8-10 Génesis 49:8-10

8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. 8 Judá, te aquel a quien alabarán tus hermanos: Tu mano en la cerviz de tus enemigos, los niños de tu padre se inclinarán a ti. 9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be . 9 Judá es un cachorro de león, de la presa, hijo mío, tú eres subido: se agachó, se echó como león, Así como león viejo, que lo despertará 10 El cetro no se apartará de Judá? Ni el legislador de entre sus pies, Hasta que venga Siloh; ya él se congregarán del pueblo.

These verses are handled in great detail in reference to the triple Conjunction of Jupiter and Regulus in 3-2 BC, in The Astronomy of the Birth of Christ section of this web-site. Estos versículos son manejados con gran detalle en referencia a la triple conjunción de Júpiter y Régulo en 3-2 antes de Cristo, en la Astronomía de la Natividad de Cristo de la sección de este sitio web. This imagery is supported also in Psalm 91:13 . Esta imagen se apoya también en el Salmo 91:13. We have already seen that Leo is also one of the pillars, or four-corners of the heavens and its brightest star Regulus was also one of the Royal stars mentioned earlier in [ Num. Ya hemos visto que Leo es también uno de los pilares o las cuatro esquinas de los cielos y la más brillante estrella Regulus era también una de las estrellas Royal se mencionó anteriormente en [Nm. 24:9 ], in the Astronomy of the ancient Persians. 24:9], en la astronomía de los antiguos persas. The star Sarcam , meaning "the joining," is another indicator that as the initial sign of the Hebrew Zodiac, the lion was joined with the woman Virgo, preserved in the monument of the Great Sphinx . El Sarcam estrella, que significa "la unión", es otro indicador de que el signo inicial de la Zodiac hebreo, el león se unió con la mujer Virgo, conservados en el monumento de la Gran Esfinge. As the woman who brought forth the promised seed of the ages, the message of this sign was foretold in the Scriptures since Genesis 3:14ff . Como la mujer que dio a luz la simiente prometida de los siglos, el mensaje de este signo se predijo en las Escrituras desde Génesis 3:14 ff.

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 14 Y Jehová Dios dijo a la serpiente: Por cuanto esto hiciste, maldita serás entre todas las bestias y entre todos los animales del campo; sobre tu pecho andarás, y polvo comerás todos los días de tu vida: 15 Y pondré enemistad entre ti y la mujer, y entre tu simiente y la simiente suya; ésta te herirá en la cabeza, y tú le herirás en el talón.

Her seed would be called "the branch" in places like Jer. Su semilla se llama "el poder" en lugares como Jer. 23:4-6, 33:14-18, Zech. 23:4-6, 33:14-18, Zac. 3:8 . Isaiah 4:2 contains some wonderful details that tie directly into the stars of the Constellation Virgo . 03:08. Isaías 4:2 contiene algunos detalles maravillosos que se une directamente a las estrellas de la constelación de Virgo.

Isaiah 4:2-3 Isaías 4:2-3

2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious , and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent |and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 2 En aquel día el renuevo de Jehová será para hermosura y gloria, y el fruto de la tierra para grandeza | y honra, a los sobrevivientes de Israel. 3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 3 Y sucederá que el que se deja en Sión, y el que permanece en Jerusalén, será llamado santo; todos los que están escritos entre los habitantes de Jerusalén:

The word "beautiful" in verse 2 above corresponds to the meaning of the star " Zavijava " in Virgo , a true characteristic of the promised seed of the woman. La palabra "hermosa" en el versículo 2 anterior se corresponde con el significado de la estrella "Zavijava" en Virgo, una verdadera característica de la simiente prometida de la mujer. It is truly wonderful to witness the inborn Symmetry of God's Word, flowing from the divine inspiration of the Creator, as the pattern of the narrative of the Stars and the Scriptures unfolds in unison before our eyes. Es realmente maravilloso ver el innata simetría de la Palabra de Dios, que brota de la inspiración divina del Creador, como el patrón de la narrativa de las Estrellas y las Escrituras se desarrolla al unísono ante nuestros ojos. The "glory" of the promised seed referred to above in Isa. La "gloria" de la simiente prometida mencionadas en Isa. 4:2 is also foretold in the decans of Virgo known anciently as Coma , the desire of the nations. 04:02 También se predijo en los decanatos de Virgo conocida antiguamente como el coma, el deseo de las naciones. This was prophesied in God's Word in Haggai 2 . Esto fue profetizado en la Palabra de Dios en Hageo 2.

Haggai 2:6-7 Hageo 2:6-7

6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land ; 7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 6 Porque así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: una vez, es un poco de tiempo, y yo haré temblar los cielos y la tierra, el mar y la tierra seca; 7 y haré temblar a todas las naciones, y el deseo de todas las naciones vendrán, y yo llenaré de gloria esta casa, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos.

The Constellation Libra "the Scales" La constelación de Libra "la balanza"

We have covered these topics in detail, in the Celestial Prelude of the Astronomy of the Birth of Christ section of this web-site. Hemos cubierto estos temas en detalle, en el Preludio Celestial de la Astronomía de la Natividad de Cristo de la sección de este sitio web. This describes the general sign of the celestial prelude that marked the specific signs of the birth of Christ for the Magi 's recognition. Esto describe el signo general de la antesala celestial que marcaron los indicadores específicos del nacimiento de Cristo para los Reyes Magos el reconocimiento 's. Their realization of the promised seed Jesus Christ, who came as the perfect sacrifice for all mankind can be seen in the original "ensign" associated with the sign Libra , which was an altar. Su realización de la semilla prometida a Jesucristo, que vino como el sacrificio perfecto para toda la humanidad puede ser visto en el original "pendón" asociado con el signo de Libra, que era un altar. This signified the Lamb of God who laid down his life to pay the price of redemption for humanity [ Ps. Esto significó el Cordero de Dios que dio su vida para pagar el precio de la redención de la humanidad [Ps. 130:8 ]. 130:8]. This price of redemption is preserved in the brightest star of Libra called " Zuben El-Genubi ," meaning: the price which is deficient, that could only be paid with the innocent blood of the lamb. Este precio de la redención se conserva en la estrella más brillante de Libra llamado "Zuben El-Genubi", es decir: el precio que es deficiente, que sólo puede ser pagado con la sangre inocente del cordero. The 74th Psalm contains a reference to this ultimate price paid by the Messiah. El Salmo 74a contiene una referencia a este último precio pagado por el Mesías.

Psalm 74:2-14 Salmo 74:2-14

2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt . 2 Acuérdate de tu congregación, que tú rescataste de edad, la vara de tu heredad, que tú rescataste, lo monte de Sión, donde has habitado.

3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 3 Levante tus pies a la desolación perpetua, e incluso todo lo que el enemigo ha hecho más mal en el santuario. [ Ezek. [Ez. 8 ] 4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. 8] 4 Tus enemigos rugido en medio de tus congregaciones, establecieron su enseñas en busca de signos.

5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 5 El hombre se hizo famoso según que había levantado ejes sobre los árboles gruesos.

6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 6 Pero ahora que dividir el trabajo de éstos, en vez talladas con hachas y martillos.

7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 7 Se han puesto fuego a tu santuario, Han profanado por el tormento de la morada de tu nombre a la tierra. 8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 8 Dijeron en su corazón, Vamos a destruir juntos: han quemado todas las sinagogas de Dios en la tierra. 9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 9 No vemos ya nuestras señales: no hay más profeta: no está entre nosotros hay que sabe cuánto tiempo.

10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? 10 Oh Dios, ¿hasta cuándo el reproche adversario? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? blasfemar el enemigo perpetuamente tu nombre para siempre?

11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? 11 ¿Por qué eres tu retraes mano, ni siquiera tu mano derecha? pluck it out of thy bosom. sácalo de tu seno.

12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth . 12 Porque Dios es mi rey de la antigüedad, trabajo salvación en medio de la tierra. 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters . 13 Tú has dividir el mar con tu fortaleza: quebraste las cabezas de los monstruos en las aguas. 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 14 Tú quebraste las cabezas de Leviatán en pedazos, y le pusiste a la carne a las personas que habitan en el desierto.

This brings us to our next sign of Scorpius the scorpion, who is seen stinging the heel of Ophiuchus the serpent bearer, while he crushes the star Antares , the scorpion's heart. This sign is a powerful indicator of the war that rages in Heaven and on Earth, because the Hebrew name of the scorpion is Akrab, meaning; "conflict or war." We find this theme of conflict with the perverse evil of the enemy, carried on in the star named Lesath the star in the scorpion's stinger, meaning "the perverse." The piercing pain of this sting of death which Christ conquered for all Mankind, is seen in powerful detail in Psalm 22, a great example of the idol ensigns in conflict with the promised seed.

The Scorpion Scorpius Stinging the heel of the Man Ophiuchus wrestling the Serpent



Psalm 22:11-23

11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion .

14 I am poured out like water , and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet .17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog .21 Save me from the lion's mouth : for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns . 22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee . 23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

This is a forceful witness of the lord's crucifixion as Psalm 22:1 and 22:18 directly attest, being quoted in all the gospels, [ Matt. 27:3, 46, Mk. 15:24,34 Lk. 23:34, John 19:24 ]. We have found references to the four cardinal points of the horizon in Numbers 23:21-24, 24:1-9 . They are listed with specific mention of the "strength of a unicorn" the [reem], in reference to Taurus the Bull, Leo the great Lion and Aquarius the water bearer, whose seed was poured out of many buckets . In the 22nd Psalm we find the same references with some important differences. The context of Numbers 23-24 refers to Balaam's prophecy of the coming promised seed, whose glory is referenced in Numbers 23:21, 24:8 . The "shout of a king" was certainly among the seed of Jacob, who would "eat up the nations of his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows." This refers to his triumphant return as the King of kings, the mighty conquering judge that no element of darkness will ever withstand. We find this image of the Lord clearly expressed in the sign Sagittarius seen in the arrows of Numbers 24:8 . We will cover this in greater detail in our look at Sagittarius next. The context of the 22nd Psalm however is the suffering of the Lord at his crucifixion and death. This was the height of the enemy's hour, who holds the power of the sting of death. It was the agents of the evil one who crucified the Lord, both the spiritual agents embodied in the "four winds" of the host of heaven and the human agents, or the circling dogs, ravening lions and gaping bulls who surrounded him bringing about his tortured death. These human agents of the evil one are pictured with the enlivened astrological faces of their false ensigns, bringing the desires of their evil father to pass in the world. In the midst of this assembly of the wicked was Jesus Christ who was poured out like water, a reference to his holy sacrificial offering, as he selflessly endured the excruciating pain of his death, laying down his life as the essence of Israel's High Priest. The end result of his ultimate sacrifice brought the "all truth" of "the Comforter" of John 16:7 , the gift of holy spirit that became available as a result of the New Birth, seen for the first time on the day of Pentecost. This is the liquid seed that was poured out of the bucket known in the stars as Aquarius' Urn , the living waters that truly quench men's souls, seen in Numbers 24:7. Even as these agents of the enemy encircled the Lord, bringing about his sufferings, these shadows of the Cherubim are bold in defiance of the Son of the Living God, infused with the four dark winds of the cardinal points, activating the power of the dog [ Ps. 22:20 ], as the fullness of the evil desires of the lord of darkness. The double meaning of these related passages of Scripture becomes clear as we take a closer look at the word for " wicked " in the 16th verse of Psalm 22. Lets take a detailed look at this word and its Hebrew root employed in Job 38 .

The following is a reference note in Revised English Version of the Bible on the "Dog-star" in Job 38:13 & 15 . ¹ This is translated as "the wicked" in the majority of other versions, thus on the surface "Dog-star" does not seem to fit in Job 38 , but as we allow God's Word to speak for itself we will uncover some long obscured and priceless gems of truth. To clarify this lets look at a marginal note in the Companion Bible, ² where it says "the wicked" is the same as "lawless" [* H7561 , rasha]. In both Job 38:13 & 15 , the Hebrew letter "ayin" is suspended, without it the word means "head, top, cheif" [* H7222 , rosh]. With "Ayin" supplied it is "the wicked." All the ancient versions and early printed editions read "the Lawless."
In Bullinger's related note on Judges 18:30 , in reference to "Mannasseh" the letter "nun" is suspended, written partly in the line and partly above the line, to show that originally it formed no part of the word, but was put in to make it spell "Mannasseh" instead of "Moses." This was done for two reasons, first to spare the honor of Moses memory and name and secondly, to put sin upon one [Mannasseh] who committed so gross a sin. The Authorized Version follows the Septuagint & Chaldee by putting "Mannasseh" in the text; while the Revised Version follows the Latin Vulgate and those codices and early editions, which have "nun" suspended, by putting "Moses" in the text and "Mannasseh" in the margin. ³ [ emphasis mine ]
If the usage of this suspended letter " ayin " in Job 38 follows suit with " nun " Judges 18 , then "originally it formed no part of the word," and should properly read " rosh " instead of " rasha ". This would change the text from the wicked or lawless to "head, chief, prince, leader, point, top, first rank, the highest, supreme." From the astronomical viewpoint evident in the Revised English Version of Job 38 , this etymology is enlightening because the in Egypt's Denderah zodiac , the star Sirius or Canis Major, the Dog-star is called " Apes " which means " the head ". Since the Dog-star is the brightest star in all the heavens from earth's perspective, the meaning of the " head or prince " is a precise fit. This " prince of the Heavenly host " was also referred to in the sacred books of Persia as " Tistar, " the " Chieftain of the East." This is not only a symbol of the sunrise embodied in the new light of the world, but it also refers to the Pyramid's capstone or " Chief cornerstone, " [ Ps. 118:22, Eph. 2:20, 5:23 ] as it catches the first rays of the dawn and sunrise of a new day. In Zech. 4:7 "headstone"- *H7222 [ roshah ] from rosh *H7218 means the "topmost stone at the corner." We will see this concept fully developed Biblical Astronomy of the Great Pyramid . We have seen this as a recurring theme of our study of the celestial signs surrounding the birth of Christ. The fact that Lucifer was the original light of the world, the "faithful witness in Heaven," [ Ps. 89:36-37, Mal. 4:2 ] and Sirius , the brightest star in the Heavens, shows us a correlation to the first bright and morning star, as the original sun of the First Heaven and Earth. This reflects an early time when the celestial calendars of 360-day sacred solar year and 365.25-day Sirius- Sothic Calendar were running in synch, before Lucifer attempted his coup in heaven. As the angel of light, all temporal matters and the timekeeping of all Creation ran under his watch. After he was cast down however, there was a needed a separation between what had become profaned, in the fallen Lucifer and what would remain sacred and holy in the coming promised seed, the rising light of the world, embodied in the sun. It is this powerful truth that is reflected in the suspended letter "ayin" in the Hebrew, revealing a double truth related to the star Sirius as a symbol of Lucifer, the original embodiment of the bright and morning star. Before his revolt and fall from his position as the head (rosh) of Creation, he was the "head, chief, prince, leader, point, top, first rank, the highest, supreme." However once iniquity was found in him [ Ezek. 28:15 ], he became "the lawless," [Heb.-rasha] the wicked one. He is the embodiment of the activation of the principle of evil [ra'a], also understood in the spiritual Entropy of his original sin, the incept point of all darkness. This would also explain the extremely negative mythological connotations of Sirius . Burnham's states: "In the ancient Greek and Roman world, the influence of Sirius was regarded as extremely unfortunate, as the allusion to the wrathful Achilles in the Iliad would seem to suggest. In Virgil's Aeneid we read of the Dog Star, that burning constellation, when he brings drought & disease on sickly mortals, rises and saddens the sky with inauspicious light." ⁴

Orion with Sirius the Dog Star, the brightest Star in the Heavens to the left .



This carries a greater significance when we realize that Sirius did not always bear these negative connotations. Bullinger states:

" Though this Dog-Star came to have an ill-omened association, it was not so in more ancient times. In the ancient Akkadian it is called Kasista, which means the leader and the prince of the heavenly host." ⁵  

This is significant also in light of Sirius' physical characteristics. The fact that the Sirius system consists of a double or Binary Star seems to mirror the dual symbolic nature of the star, which emerges from the context of Job 38:13-15 . In its original position and first estate as the central fire of the heavens, Sirius as the leader of the heavenly host exemplifies the effulgent brightness of the manifested light of the world , while Sirius "B," its companion star exhibits characteristics just the opposite. Known in modern terminology as a White Dwarf , according to some of the most recent determinations, Sirius "B" would have a density about 90,000 times that of our Sun. The cycle of Sirius "B" is a fifty-year cycle, a fact which has been verified by modern astronomers. Thus it is interesting to see how half this fifty-year cycle of Sirius "B" reflects the luni-solar relationship inherent in the 50-year cycle of Hebrew Jubilees, according to the golden section , or phi ratio. As we have found, the Hebrew Jubilee figures into the timing of Christ's birth, and is distinct in the celestial events making up the great wonder of Revelation 12 . As the archaic angel of light we would expect to find celestial associations in the Sirius cycle that agree with the cadence of the Biblical Patriarch's calendar, if our thesis holds true. The following calculations from John A. West show the coordination of the luni-solar cycles according to the golden section , or phi ratio, with a split of the fifty-year cycle into 2 x 25 years. According to West: The twenty-five year solar cycle corresponded to 309 lunations.

The calculations are: 25 x 365 = 9125 days, and 9125 = 29.5307 days per lunation 309 = 29.5307

days per lunation 309 This in itself reveals extremely accurate observations. Modern Astronomy reckons the lunation as 29.53059 days, a difference of about a second. But Schwaller de Lubicz notes the intriguing equivalence of twenty-five years to 309 lunar months. 309 = (f - 1) x 1000 and its choice as the number determining the cycle cannot have been accidental. 2 2

(A double cycle, which would express the Golden Section, comprises fifty years:
618 lunations = (f - 1) x 1000.
2 2

We may also recall that Rosh ha-Shanah as Tishri 1 , is the " head " of the Judean calendar as New Year's day and Jesus'birth-date, the first day of the fifty-year Hebrew cycle of Jubilees. Thus, we can see that the fifty-year cycle of Hebrew Jubilees that corresponds with the orbit of Sirius "B," seems based on an ancient tradition holding truths beyond the limits of where the modern science of has deigned to go thus far. As we return to the celestial context of the 22nd Psalm , we find in Psalm 22:16 , the word " dogs " is used with the figure of speech Hypocatastasis . This is the strongest type of a figure of representation, by implication . Even though "dogs" are stated, it is the spirit behind the dog-face that is being implied and thus emphasized. As part of this assembly of the wicked , which is the same root word for the " wicked" in what is showed above from Job 38:13-15 , this figurative emphasis referencing " the power of the dog " gains greater depth when its considered in light of the dual meaning of the " dog-star " above. As the spiritual influence and motivating force behind the scenes of the torture and crucifixion of Christ, the wicked essence of the Dog-star Sirius , the archaic and fallen Morning Star is clearly identified. This is further established by the astronomical context that highlights the 22nd Psalm . We will discuss the ramifications of the star Sirius and its Sothic calendar in more detail in Calendar of the Biblical Patriarchs article of our web-site.Archaeo- Astronomy

Now lets take a look at Sagittarius . This mighty mounted archer ever has the arrows of his great bow trained on the heart of the Scorpion - the red star Antares . We find this imagery in the 45th Psalm .

Psalm 45:2-7

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee forever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under the e.6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. [ Rev. 19:11-16 ]
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God , hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Sagittarius the Mounted Conquering Hero returning in Victory

Bullinger informs us that "the Arabic name for the sign Sagittarius is Al Kaus, the arrow." ⁶ This is the king riding in the judgment of Numbers 24:8 who " eats up the nations of his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrow s." We can see more details of this imagery in Habakkuk 3 .

Habakkuk 3:3-13

3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. 5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. 6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. 7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers? Was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation? 9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. 10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. 11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. 12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. 13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed ; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked , by discovering the foundation unto the neck.

Here in verses 8-9 we see the Lord fulfilling the oaths of the deliverance of the tribes of Israel, as he bends his mighty Bow in judgment. As he brightly brandishes the weapons of his warfare, his arrows and spear, the heathen fall before him. He wounds the head or leaders of the wicked unto their foundations. None can stand before the wrath of the lord but the righteous, in his coming judgment. This is the mighty Sagittarius riding into Christ's ultimate victory with his ascended Saints, over the wicked powers of darkness. [ Hab. 3:13 ] As the celestial narrative alternates between the sufferings and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ, we now consider the sign Capricorn . The most evident embodiment of this is found in the Passover Lamb, fulfilled in the ministry of Jesus. This is found in Exodus 12 .

Exodus 12:3-8

3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Jesus fulfilled every jot and tittle of the OT Law, meeting each required element of the Passover Lamb, not only for Israel, but the whole world. Yet some still look for him as though he never came the first time. He has come and brought the New Birth for everyone, we must only believe to receive the fullness of his blessings. As we have already seen, the true blessings of the New Birth are glimpsed, in Aquarius , in the blessings of the holy spirit, which have been with us since the first Century. We find evidence of this in Isaiah 44.

Isaiah 44:3-4

3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring : 4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

Here again we find the liquid seed that was poured out of the bucket known as Aquarius' Urn , the only living waters that satisfy men's souls, seen earlier in Numbers 24:7 . As one of the "four-corner" celestial signs of the heavens, this figure speaks powerfully of God's purposes in his covenants with man. Interestingly, the heavens themselves are said to pour forth their knowledge in the Earth, even as the former and latter rain, [ Job 1:19, Ps. 19:2-4 ]. We see this witness confirmed in the star that is the brightest in Aquarius , named Saad Al Melik meaning: "the record of pouring forth." These are the words whose sound went into all the earth… as Romans 10:18 testifies. This also shows us the sound of God's Spoken Word written in the celestial light of the heavenly orbs. The last of the 12 major zodiacal signs we will consider is Pisces the fishes. The 47th Chapter of Ezekiel speaks of a great multitude of fish, providing the immediate context leading up to Israel's future inheritance for the 12 tribes, [ Ezek. 47:13ff ].

Pisces the Fishes symbolic of Judah and Israel

Ezekiel 47:6-12

6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this ? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. 7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. 9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. 10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many . 11 But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. 12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

Ezekiel tells of a time when Israel realizes their inheritance spoken of in the 22nd chapter of the book of Revelation. The river spoken of in Ezekiel finds its source in "the throne of God and the Lamb," [ Gen. 22:1-2 ]. Here we find the true healing waters of the Nations feeding the tree of life , " yielding her fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations ." Bullinger affirms in the Sign Pisces , that: " there can be no doubt that we have in this Sign the foreshadowing of the multiplication and blessing of the children of promise, and a token of their coming deliverance from all the power of the enemy ." ⁷ Psalm 104 gives us more enlightening details on the deep blue sea, the habitation of these multitudes of fishes in God's Creation .

Psalm 104:19-35

19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth .

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God . [ Job 38:39-40 ]

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens .

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein .

27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season .

28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being .

34 My meditation of Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more . Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

The tails of these fish are fastened to the neck of the sea monster Cetus , with the Band depicted as Leviathan above in verse 26. This is the prey that the lion of verse 21 is roaring after. This also shows the bondage of Israel's oppression by Cetus the evil sea-serpent. However, the conquering deliverer is pictured in the paws of Aries the Ram, set to unloosen the bindings of this Band that holds the fishes captive. This brings us full circle from where we began this narrative, unveiling great facets of the truth and beauty of the stellar witness. Psalm 104: 35 closes with "let the wicked be no more," and "Praise ye the LORD." In the Hebrew this is " Hallelujah ." Bullinger says this is the " first Hallelujah in the Old Testament. The Talmud and the Midrash call attention to the fact it is connected with the overthrow of the wicked, which is also the case with the first Hallelujah in the New Testament in Revelation 19:1-2 ." ⁸

This is the long awaited fate of the wicked that the Saints of God will participate in, the great and notable day of the Lord that has been foretold since antiquity in the heavens, and since ancient times in the Scriptures. As we embark on our glorious destiny, let us keep the Hope & promise of our Lord's victorious return fresh in the fore-front of our minds, in anticipation of the realization of the Hope of the Ages, the Advent of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
