Astrology and the Four Horsemen of Revelations

Astrology and the Four Horsemen of Revelations

August 23, 2012; Revision 4/23/13; 8/6/13

The story of the four horsemen is found in the Revelation of John, which scholars believe was written in 95 AD. They did not carbon date it. It is given this date because the author alludes to a numbers of kings who had come and gone. It was more likely written during the period of the compilation of the bible around 325AD.

There is something very strange and unique about Revelations that needs closer examination.

The ancients imagined the sun as riding through the heavens in a chariot. The Greek sun god Helios rode his chariot across the heavens drawn by four horses, as did the sun god Apollo. It was once common knowledge that the four horses represented the four seasons and this is what they represent in Revelations.

Each season bursts forward in a certain zodiac sign at “cardinal points”. The cardinal points once occurred in Taurus for spring, Leo for summer, Scorpio for fall and Aquarius for winter (one zodiac sign back due to the precession of the equinox). The cardinal points are also the two equinoxes (spring & fall) and two solstices (summer & winter).These cardinal points is the origin of the symbol of the cross.

If the compilers of the bible had understood that what they had in Revelations was really astrology sweetly wrapped in Christian salutation, it probably would never have seen the light of day. It is the scroll that is like honey in the mouth that becomes bitter in the stomach.

They did not recognize that the author prophesied the churches corruption and downfall. They did not recognize themselves as the Great Whore of Babylon who rides the Beast.

In creating the Roman-Catholic Church, they joined government with religion and created a Church-State. This conglomerate entity is not the US as some have supposed because the US was purposefully founded on separation of church and state to avoid this very prophecy.

The church officials were very picky about what they included in the final compilation of writings that makes up the bible we have today. They rejected many articles, especially those that did not conform to their doctrine. For example, the Book of Enoch (written in Aramaic and Hebrew in 300 BC) was considered blasphemous because it describes the fall of the Watchers; angels who came unto women and fathered the Nephilim (giants). Yet they left 1 Samuel 17:41 where David killed the giant Goliath.

Not knowing how to interpret Revelations, but concluding that the visions must be from a prophet of God, possibly even the disciple John, the compliers stuck it in the back in the 11^th hour, much to our delight today.

Being the last book of the bible, Revelations is a beautiful finale of astrotheology and it undeniably unmasks (much like a Rosetta stone) the presence of astrology in our established religion. It starts by the writer identifying himself as John, with the implication that he is the disciple John (a Jew, yet written in Greek?). He gives a Christian salutation then acknowledges the churches, as did the earlier Christian writer, Paul. It then switches into a beautiful astrotheological thesis and ends with another Christian salutation. What we have is a message written in the language of astrology for those who can understand. It also carries a warning for those living in perilous end-times due to the astrological phenomena of the 24,000 year -Great Year- of the precession of the vernal (spring) equinox.

The first indication that we have entered the realm of Astrology is that while Paul wrote to 10 or more churches, the author of Revelations mentions only 7. The numbers 7 and 12 are significant to astrology because there are 7 planets and 12 constellations. Planets are considered hosts of heaven.

So, let’s look at the beautiful piece of astrotheology that has come to us today, so carefully and unwittingly preserved by the Catholic Church.

Revelation 4:6-8

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion (Leo) and the second beast like a calf (Taurus) and the third beast had a face as a man (Aquarius) and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle (Positive aspect of Scorpio).

Scorpio is the only constellation that has three signs, the scorpion, the eagle and the phoenix, the symbol of transformation and spiritual rebirth. The eagle could also represent the sign of Aquila, which means “eagle” and is also in that region.

        These 4 beasts are the four fixed signs of the Zodiac. At these points the season is fixed. Spring is fixed in Taurus. Summer is fixed in Leo. Fall is fixed in Scorpio and winter is fixed in Aquarius. Seasons occurs in three phases. Each season has a startup phase called cardinal, its middle is called fixed, and its decline is called mutable. This cycling has been compared to an airplane. A lot of energy is required for a plane to take off (cardinal,) the plane coasts along (fixed,) and then the plane declines (mutable). Ancients used the analogy of horses.

After we are introduced to this strange creature, the Lamb appears and opens a seal. The Lamb is the zodiac sign of Aries; which for many ancients actually began the year. Then, each of these four beasts announces one of the four horsemen in turn.

The horses represent each of the four cardinal months or start of the seasons. The riders represents the four fixed months of the season. Together they are the four horse-men.

        The four beasts also represent the four Ages of man called Veda Yugas that are equivalent to the Golden age, Silver age, Bronze age, and Iron age. The Satya Yuga is man’s Golden age. Tetra Yuga the Silver age. Dvapar Yuga the Bronze age and Kali Yuga the Dark age.

Due to cosmic influences, based upon our location in the universe as our sun drags us though the cosmos upon its elliptical path, man suffers long periods of intellectual and spiritual deficiency during the Dark ages, where his capacity for comprehension slowly diminishes. Yet, at other times based upon location and beneficial energy, during the Golden ages man’s intellectual and spiritual capacity increases. Some believe that we are leaving the dark ages and that entering Aquarius turns us back towards a Golden age. I don’t agree with this. It is my contention that we are moving below the galactic plane, not above it. Aquarius is a winter month and is ruled by Saturn; a malevolent planet of fear and control.

Rev, 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb (Aries) opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The first horseman sounds almost regal. He is unique in that he represents both the season of spring and a savior-hero, hence the white horse and crown. The word Herod, as in King Herod, translates as “Hero’s song”. The hero’s song is the story of triumph and struggles as our hero (the sun) transverses the wheel of the zodiac.

The first horseman rides a white horse, always associated with the good guy. He wears a crown and carries a bow. He rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. The word crown is from the Latin root word corona. A crown originally meant to represent the golden rays of the sun and associated the ruler with the power of the sun and authority to rule. The rider wears the crown because the sun is ‘exalted’ in Aries and in this house he is called the “conquering sun”. He arose from the dead, the dead of winter, to save us. He is after all, the light of the world.

The first horse is cardinal spring in Aries, and the rider is fixed spring in Taurus. Our hero, the sun, has conquered the dark and cold of winter with its warmth and life giving energy in spring. The world is renewed.

The rider has borrowed the bow from Sagittarius the centaur, a half horse, half man creature. In the constellations, Sagittarius follows after Scorpio. The centaur has turned around and points his arrow at a star called Antares, which is at the “heart” of the scorpion that gives the sun the “kiss of death”. A scorpion’s sting is in the shape of a pair of lips. This is where Judas (Scorpio) betrays Jesus, the sun, with a kiss before he goes to his death during the winter solstice in Capricorn (the goat). The bow symbolizes that he plans to conquer death. He will be resurrected.

The artist painted the rider with feet of clay. The reference of clay feet comes from the book of Daniel. The king had a dream which Daniel interpreted. The dream was of a statue that represented the four Ages of man; the Golden age, the Silver age, the Bronze age, the Iron or Dark age.

Daniel 2:32:The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.

The rider in the painting presented here wears a golden crown, a suit of silver and bronze, with feet of clay. The artist again alludes to the four horsemen being in reference to the Ages of man, in case you missed it.

Rev 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

The second horseman rides the face of the earth on a fiery red horse carrying a sword to take peace from the earth. The Greek word used for red is “purros” or “pyros,” meaning the color of fire. The normal Greek word for red is “eruthros” so the word chosen (purros) is a more specialized term to suggest fiery flickering of reds, oranges, and yellows of a flame.

        The second horse is the cardinal summer in Cancer, and the rider is the fixed summer in Leo. The fiery color of the horse represents the heat of summer where emotions run high and if unbridled leads to war and strife (the sword) and takes peace from the earth.

The summer solstice occurs in Cancer June 21st when the sun is straight overhead during the longest day of the year. But the sun still rules the sign of Leo and always will. For our ancestors, the heat of the sun in summer became like a devouring lion. The lion may be courageous and brave and the king of the jungle, and all, but this sign’s negative aspects are the heat of passions and emotions.

Rev 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, “A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; see thou hurt not the oil and the wine”.

        The third horse is cardinal fall in Libra, and the rider is fixed fall in Scorpio. While Aries represents 6am and daylight (white horse) on the zodiac clock, Libra represent after 6pm and night (black horse). The scales represent Libra and the sun’s fall below the equator as it heads towards its death at the winter solstice.

Scales represent the fall equinox where there is equal length of day and night. There are 6 months above the equator and 6 months below. One pan of the scales represents the 6 months above (positive & life affirming) and the other pan represent the 6 months below (negative & life effacing). In this painting there is really only one scale; a serious lacking, a famine, which this horseman is said to represent. This horseman is told to measure the wheat and barley and hurt not the oil and wine; meaning be very judicious with your food storage. If ancients had not reserved enough food by this time of the year, they could easily starve to death in the winter months ahead.

Next comes the forth horsemen of Death followed closely behind by Hades. The word Hades has mistakenly become synonymous with the relatively new concept of a Christian fiery hell. The Greek word Hades means the cold, dark underworld; a shadowy, gloomy Netherworld cut off from God. Hades is the lower, outer regions of heaven where Saturn is.

Rev 6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given unto him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword (second horseman), and with hunger (third horseman), and with death (fourth horseman), and with the beasts of the field.

        The fourth horse is the cardinal winter in Capricorn, and the rider is the fixed winter in Aquarius. The sun hypothetically dies on the cross every year during the winter solstice December 21^st. The sun rises from the dead on December 24^th.  The sun is born at the spring equinox March 21.

The fourth horseman of Death kills with all the negative aspects of the preceding horsemen. He kills with the sword given to the second horseman representing Leo with his unrestrained passions and emotions. He destroys with hunger, which represents Libra, the third horseman. And he destroys with the beasts of the field.

The constellations have been called the beasts of the field, save for Aquarius the Divine man. The word zoo and zodiac comes from the Latin Zodiacus, or Greek Zoidiakos, and means little animals. This is to say that not only is man destroyed by the negative aspects of Leo with uncontrolled passions, and with Libra whose scales tip us below the equator in a type of spiritually deficiency, but man is destroyed by all the beasts of the field, by all the negative aspects of each of the zodiac signs.

The next image helps explain the cardinal and fixed signs of spring, summer, fall, and winter that represents the horse and rider of Revelations. To help visualize the description, the face of a bull, lion, eagle, and man has been placed on the rider.

Notice that the fourth horseman (Age of Aquarius), where originally occurred the winter solstice, is below the galactic plan in a region considered the underworld. This is hades where Saturn fell or was “cast down” and where this planet rules. Death follows after because this is where the sun “dies” during the longest night of the year. Remember, with Ages we move counterclockwise through the zodiac.

In the painting, the first horsemen is actually turned back to shoot his arrow at the heart (star Antares) of the rider of the black horse (Scorpio).The scorpion will betray the sun with a kiss, but after 3 days (when the sun does not appear to move in the heavens,) the days again begin to get longer than the night, and we turn back from winter. Our hero has conquered death.

Each of the 4 beasts has 4 faces upon their body. Each body represents a Great Year (approx. 24,000 years). The 4 faces represent the 4 Ages within that Great Year, which are the 4 fixed signs of the zodiac (“without turning”). They are called “fixed” because these signs do not appear to move. The idea of four prior world creations agrees with other ancient peoples who say that the world has been destroyed and recreated many times. The Aztec and Navajo say we are in the fifth world and it could be true for them. The Maya agrees with Revelations in that we are in the fourth world and headed for the fifth. As you know, in Revelations this world is destroyed and a new heaven and a new earth appear in the heavens; all astrological.

The scroll in Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelations is Revelations itself!

The theme of Revelations is a carry-through of the visions and prophesies of Ezekiel and Daniel. They share a common thread of the four beasts and each was given a prophetic scroll. Ezekiel was told to eat the scroll, which was sweet as honey in his mouth, and to go prophesy to the house of Israel. Daniel was told to seal up his scroll till the time of the end when knowledge would be increased and people ran to and fro.

In Revelations 10:10 the writer is instructed to take a “little book” and eat it. It is sweet as honey in his mouth but turns bitter in the stomach. But it is Revelations 22:10 that demonstrates that this is indeed the same scroll of Ezekiel and Daniel; “Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near”.

Ezekiel 2:9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel 3:1 Then He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll. 3 He said to me, “Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you.” Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. 4 Then He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, o Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book (scroll,) even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12:9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.

Revelations 10:10 I (John) took the little book from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, “You must prophesy again before many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

The following scripture shows the similarity of Ezekiel’s vision and that of Revelations.

Ezekiel 1:5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men, 6: but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. 7: … they went every one straight forward, without turning as they went. 10: As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle at the back.

In the painting provided, the first horseman stomps a king, a bishop, and a Jewish scribe underfoot as buildings representing great societies fall in ruin around them.

Collapse of governments, society and weather related catastrophes are depicted in Revelations as signs of the end times. Geological records show that periodic global destruction has come upon the earth.

It is certain that the writer of Revelations, versed in ancient astrology, knew exactly what events would portend the end of the Age (of Pisces). The writer would have known about the 24,000 year, Great Year that marches out the rise and fall of man from the dark ages to the golden ages and back again. He knew that the destruction of the world was cyclic and just like it had happened before it was destined to happen again.

Revelations is a time capsule of astrotheology that has survived under the most extraordinary circumstances. Whoever wrote and successfully orchestrated its inclusion into the holy bible was absolutely brilliant.

Helios, the Greek god of the Sun, rides his chariot drawn by four horses in a relief sculpture from the ancient city of Troy. Helios was believed to ride his chariot from east to west each day accounting for the path of the sun. Notice the 4 horses representing the seasons. The rays behind his head represent the sun.

Comet ISON and Revelations Wormwood Prophecy

By Jennifer Asad 7/24/13; Revision 7/29/13

The name of one of the Russian discoverers of comet ISON translates to Wormwood and the name of the observatory where it was discovered means sour waters, being named after the town where the observatory is located. Christians and students of Revelations will recognize this coincidence immediately as a prophecy of End Times.

The comet ISON was discovered September 21, 2012 (fall equinox) by two Russian Astronomers named Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok. Comets have always been named after its discoverers but this one was named after the telescope they used.

Comet ISON is not alone! Spaceweather.com has video from Peter Lawrence, which shows up to 7 objects following along with it. Read the comments section at their website where other astronomers take note of these objects (youtube video link below).

Comet ISON is 3 to 4 miles wide at its core, but with its plume of gas and dust, is estimated at 125 miles wide. Its tail of gas and dust is almost 200 thousand miles long. Its orbit is estimated at 10 thousand years and said to be traveling 48,000 miles per hour; it is believed to be the first time it has entered our solar system form the Oort belt. These unprecedented statistics is why 2013 has been called The Year of the Comet and ISON is being called the Comet of the Century. ISON is a Sun-Grazer, meaning its orbit swings it around the sun and back out again.

ISON enters our solar system from the constellation of Orion between Taurus and Gemini and from the direction of the star Sirius, associated with the Egyptian deity Isis. Osiris would be the dead dwarf star that orbits her, whom she “gathered” from the regions after he was “cut into pieces” and strewn. She could not find his genitalia so fashioned a phallic out of which Horus was born. I have hypothesized that Horus is our sun having been born of Isis and Osiris. Walter Cruttenden at the Binary Research Center, and author of Lost Star, does a wonderful job of showing that our sun and Sirius are in an orbit around each other.

In August ISON will be leaving Gemini and entering Cancer. From September into October, ISON will be sweeping across the constellation of Leo. It is calculated to pass by Mars on October 1^st. It then passes through Virgo in November where it becomes visible to the naked eye for the first time.

Let’s turn for a moment to end time prophecy as found in the book of Revelations chapter 12. In September 2011, a rare astrological event occurred where the sun clothed the constellation Virgo, moving down her left side as the moon moved into position at her feet. Meanwhile, the bright morning star Venus moved into her womb as the planet Saturn stood waiting to devour the child (see link to video). Saturn was also known as Chronos. In Greek myth, Saturn-Chronos eats his children as soon as they are born. Saturn has seven rings or “crowns” and it multiple moons, which ancient stargazers could have attributed as heads and horns. Satan, that dragon, has long been associated with the malevolent planet Saturn. It is currently a yellow-orange but could have been red at one time.

In Revelations, Jesus refers to himself as the bright morning star. Revelation 22:16~  I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

In the following verses Virgo would be the woman with 12 stars in her crown because there literally are 12 stars there. Saturn is the dragon.

Revelations 12: A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. 5 And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

There is actually a body of comets attributed to Saturn called Saturnian family of comets (also a family of comets for Jupiter). Some of Saturn’s moons are captured comets (Enceladus & Phoebe).

http://www.varchive.org/itb/satcom.htm “The explosion of cometary bodies from Saturn and Jupiter is claimed on the basis of purely astronomical observations and calculations; the circumstances of such explosions must have been admittedly extraordinary; the time when this happened must be measured in thousands of years, not tens of thousands or millions.

Russian astronomer K. Vshekhsviatsky of the Kiev Observatory, one of the leading authorities on comets (‘Worlds in Collision’), has brought strong arguments to show that the comets of the solar system are very youthful bodies—only a few thousand years old—and that they originated in explosions from the planets, especially from the major planets Saturn and Jupiter or their moons.

The sentence in the Tractate Brakhot that ascribes the cause of the Deluge to the cometary bodies that erupted from the planet Saturn no longer appears as fantastic.”

It appears that the writer of Revelations was steeped in ancient astronomy and astrology. He was also likely Greek.

ISON swings around the sun on November 28^th, Thanksgiving Day. We think of Thanksgiving as an American holiday, but it has pagan origins (like all holidays). It is an ancient holiday of harvest. The holiday was dedicated to the goddess of harvest, Ceres, and the holiday was called Cerelia. This is where we get the word cereal. On its way back out, ISON comes closest to the Earth on December 26^th, the day after Christmas, as things currently stand. We will pass through the comets tail in January of 2014, if it survives its trip around the sun.

The comet ISON could be very dangerous. It has to pass through our asteroid belt which could disturb things there. It could break apart and pose even more of a threat, or we could get hit by debris as we pass through the tail on its way out of our solar system. We certainly will be plummeted with its dust. It could dive into the sun and be destroyed. It could trigger solar flares. It could even have an energetic interaction as it conjuncts with Mars under the head of Leo from September 22 to mid-October. Some are calling the comet theory of just a “dirty snowball” outdated in favor of an electromagnetic universe theory. The comet could move from its projected path for any unseen reason. Or, it could be just a spectacular light show. It is very unpredictable.

But, here is a shocker. I am one who likes to look at meanings of names. For example, Snowden with the help of Greenwald exposed the unconstitutional spying of the NSA sanctioned by the US government. Many of us are watching the series ‘Game of Thrones’. In the show, dire warning of perilous times ahead is given as the statement, “winter is coming”. A tremendous “wall” protects the land of lush green from the frozen wasteland full of zombies. Hence, we have the names Snowed-in and Green-walled sounding the alarm of treacherous times ahead. I have seen this type of name synchronicity many times. The wall could even represent the galactic plane. Being above it gives us 6 Golden Ages of summer and being below it gives us 6 Dark Ages of winter.

I decided to look up the meaning of the names of the two Russians who discovered ISON: Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok.

The name of the first guy, Vitali, means life. His last name, Nevski, is an offshoot of Neva, which is a river in Russia and means “sea” or “water”. Therefore, the name of the first guy breaks down into “Vital or Living Waters”. In Latin, the meaning of Neva is radiance or brightness. In this case his name would mean “alive with radiant brightness”. Scientists are interested in ISON due to a study in how icy comets seed life throughout the universe. Without water there is no life.

The name of the second guy is where it gets horrifying. The name Artyom originates from ARTEMISIOS and means WORMWOOD (a bitter herb). I will repeat that because it is worth driving home.

The name of one of the Russian discoverers of this 3 to 4 mile wide comet with a 200,000 mile tail translates to WORMWOOD.

Revelations 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of waters; 11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 12And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

It gets more ominous.

The observatory from where the two Russians discovered this comet is named Kislovodsk Observatory. It is named after its location and Kislovodsk means Sour Waters. In fact, the telescope and Observatory is called in full ISON-Kislovodsk. And thus we have the phrase being equivalent to “comet of bitter waters”.

The guys last name, Novichonok, was a little more difficult but shocking as well. Breaking the name into two parts, the first is Novi.

Novi is also a familiar form of November. Remember, Comet ISON will be in Virgo in November when it first appears to the naked eye. It reaches the sun November 28^th at a time when our sun should be in its solar maximum cycle. By this time ISON is expected to become as much as 15 times brighter than our moon due to passing
through hot wind produced by regions along the sun’s equator.

Oddly enough, in November ISON becomes visible to the Mercury-orbiting spacecraft named MESSENGER. The planet Mercury was considered to be the Messenger of the Gods because of its quick orbit.

But, more bizarre still is that “Revelations” in Latin means “to reveal”. Written in an apocalyptic language, it was meant to reveal a message for the end times, an astrological message. How fitting that this spacecraft named MESSENGER circling the planet Mercury would deliver such a message to the world. This is why I find astrotheology so fascinating.

In Abrahamic religions, Archangel Gabriel serves as the messenger of God. Gabriel is also known as the angel of “revelation”. It is Archangel Gabriel who blows a trumpet horn to wake the dead at the Last Judgement. Will ISON be trumpeting?

Novi is also a variant of Nova. In Astronomy, a nova is a star that releases a tremendous burst of energy, becoming temporarily extraordinarily bright. It is believed that a Nova led the shepherds to baby Jesus. Mathew 2:2: “For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” Wise men of the bible were astronomers and astrologers.

The second half of his name is Chonok = Searches on this word brings up Chinook which means a warm dry wind which blows down the east side of the mountains at the end of winter causing a rapid rise in temperature. Another name is Fohn (foehn) winds and means snow eater. As you know, the polar ice caps are melting and so are the glaciers, as sea levels rise. This planet, including the oceans, is warming. It is time to consider that it is not due to man’s presence alone.

Carey Lisse at NASA said, “We estimate ISON is emitting about 2.2 million pounds of what is most likely carbon dioxide gas and about 120 million pounds of dust every minute,” and “we now know for sure the comet’s distant activity has been powered by gas.”

In a nutshell, we have a serious (Sirius) 3 to 4 mile wide comet discovered by two Russian discoverers’, one of whose name breaks down into “living waters or “vibrant with radiant brightness”, the second whose first name easily traces back to Wormwood, the name of a devastating comet mentioned in Revelations that hurls stars to the earth and turns the waters bitter, which then happens to be the meaning of the name of the Observatory (sour waters). The guys last name can be broken down to “November and hot dry winds”, matching the month when this comet becomes visible to the naked eye and the fact that it is spewing 2.2 million pounds of the deadly carbon dioxide and 120 million pounds of dust every minute.

Significantly, we are headed into the Age of Aquarius, a.k.a the Sign of the Son of Man. Aquarius pours out waters upon the earth; a time of great floods. This is the zodiac sign for John the Baptist, which will be explained in another article. The Age of Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and is a winter month. Therefore, winter is indeed coming. Because Ages move backwards through the zodiac and because we transverse the galactic plane at an angle, we are crossing the galactic plane at the cusp of Pisces into Aquarius. It seems, and I have no real evidence, that we are moving below the galactic plane and not above it (see image below). We know we are crossing the galactic plane because our sun aligned with the galactic center on December 21, 2012, on cue with the Mayan calendar. There are those who look forward to the return of the rule of Saturn. We are already seeing its effects on society. Its energy is that of fear and control. With each Age lasting about 2 thousand years, it was the sphinx that marked the Golden Age (about 12,000 years ago) when we moved from Virgo into Leo. Moving through the galactic plane during the Age of Aquarius brings many hazards and hence we have our cataclysmic prophecies.

On July 18^th 2013 the European Space Agency/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory captured images of the sun showing a very large corona hole on the sun. The sun’s corona is in yellow and the dark area is the corona hole. Corona holes represent open “magnetic field lines” that instead of falling back to the sun, heads out into space as fast solar wind particles blowing at a steady high speed.

Scientists don’t know what causes coronal holes but are quick to tell you not to worry about it. Could this be a reaction to the presence of ISON? And what about the strange humming and sink holes happening around the world. Is the earth shaking?

Revelations is an astounding Astrotheological masterpiece disguised as Christian writing in order to ensure its preservation by the Roman Catholic Church. If they had known what it really was, they surely would have destroyed it. The theme of Revelations is a carry-through of the visions and prophesies of Ezekiel and Daniel. Revelations is, in fact, the book that was handed to Daniel that he was told to seal up for the end time. We read of it being handed to the writer of Revelations.

Imagine the richness of characters, wise men of the sacred sciences, as they plot to cryptically weave their sacred teachings into a document and slip it into the hands of their mortal enemy. Imagine the baffled looks and exchanges of church officials commissioned with compiling religious writings for inclusion into what would become the bible. Articles that do not to conform to their established dogma are rejected. A heated debate ensues. The images are wild and bizarre, they say, who can understand it? All the while, our hero, a double agent, encourages its acceptance into the final draft. It was written by the disciple John, he claims (even though it was written in Greek). Later, he sneaks out, shrouded and under cover of darkness, to report to his huddled and hushed colleagues and coconspirators.

The day comes and tense moments tick out the final decision. Nothing short of the future survival of humanity is at stake. In a nail biting scene straight from an Indiana Jones movie it gets tucked away at the back of the bible in the last hour. Whew!  Such intrigue! Brilliant!

In a sort of time capsule motif, 2000 years into the future we see our hero; we’ll call him John, pick up the bible and turn to Revelations. Slowly, through flashes of these past life events, he realizes the astrological message held therein. He tries to warn world leaders of coming cataclysms due to planetary movement occurring in the heavens as laid out in Revelations. The leaders of the Catholic Church discredit and oppose him.

Apocalyptic scenes of earthquakes, volcanos and floods are occurring around the world. A chance meeting unites him with Daniel who has had his own awakening; we’ll call them the two prophets. John remembers the location of a copy that had been secretly sealed away. The two return to Jerusalem and just as they have removed the last stone and John reaches in and touches the scroll with his fingers, goons working for the Catholic Church rush in and arrest them. In route, they are seized upon and fervently stoned to death for blasphemy! For three days their bodies lay in the street as satellites broadcasts the news around the world. And the countdown begins; day one, day two, day three. In the final scene our two friends stand up. A blinding light engulfs them. The light disappears and they are gone! Bystanders are perplexed. Suddenly, a great earthquake! The end.

The Kolbrin bible, a collection of ancient texts, gives what sounds like eyewitness accounts of horrific cataclysms that nearly destroyed the earth and all its inhabitants. It predicts the return of this massive fiery object known to the Egyptians and Hebrews as the “Destroyer”. As you read below, remember that Wise men were Astrologers.

Kolbrin Bible: “Men forget the days of the Destroyer. Only the wise know where it went and that it will return in its appointed hour. It raged across the heavens in the days of wrath, and this was its likeness: it was as a billowing cloud of smoke wrapped in a ruddy glow. Its mouth was an abyss from which came flame, smoke and hot cinders. When ages pass, certain laws operate upon the stars in the heavens. Their ways change; there is movement and restlessness, they are no longer constant and a great light appears redly in the skies. When blood drops upon the earth, the Destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by land and seas will boil. The heavens will burn brightly and redly. The people will scatter in madness. They will hear the trumpet and battlecry of the Destroyer and seek refuge within the dens of the earth. Thus it was in the days of heavenly wrath, which has gone, and thus it will be in the days of doom when it comes again. The times and its coming and going are known unto the wise.”
