Astronomical Discovery in Revelation: PART II
When I wrote the article ‘Astronomical Discovery in Revelation’ http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2009/kevinh1212.htm
I believed there was more to be gleaned from the verses in Revelation regarding Ecliptic time and the constellations. I was astonished to find a date that has been discussed here on this site on numerous occasions. The first verse of Revelation 12 describes ‘a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet’. As I said in the first article, the Ecliptic or the sun’s path through the heavens over the period of a year lies parallel with the constellation Virgo just below her body. I occurred to me that ‘clothed with the sun’ could refer to the sun having traveled the entire length of her body ‘clothing’ her. The direction the sun appears to travel along the Ecliptic would be from her head to her feet over the time period it takes to travel that distance. This would place the sun near her feet if she were fully ‘clothed’. The very next words are ‘and the moon under her feet’. I wondered if there were a time during the year that both the sun and the moon were near or under her feet. The Ecliptic passes within a degree of Virgo’s heel, which are the binary stars Lambda Virginis (14h 19m 6 sec RA -13* 22m 16sec declination). I wondered if there was a day during the year in which the sun was nearly to Lambda Virginis (her heel) and the moon directly ‘under’ her feet. There is a day in which the sun (14h 18m 21 sec RA – 13* 49.7’declination) is within 45 seconds of Right Ascension nearly on top of Virgo’s left heel star (clothed by the sun)!!!! Now I wondered if the moon was ‘under her feet’ at the same time. On this date and time (with the sun there), the moon is at 14h 58min 25 sec RA and -22* 7.7’ declination although dark as it is a new moon. Of the FEET (stars) of Virgo, Mu Virginis (14h 43min 3sec -5.39) has the farthest Right Ascension, which is the lowest foot (although higher in the sky) as Virgo depicts a woman in the prone position. It would be her right foot. The moon would have to be both ‘lower’ in declination than the sun’s ecliptic and higher Right Ascension value to match the verse’s words ‘moon under her feet’. The moon following a path 9 degrees lower than that of the sun (here), making it significantly lower than Virgo’s feet in declination is also 15 minutes ‘under’ (past) her foot in Right Ascension!!!! This is I thought would be a once a year occurrence. I would find out it would be much rarer than that.
Before I reveal the date and time, there is a confirming intersect with the moon’s ecliptic. Revelation 12:7 speaks of the war in heaven. Verse 8 states that the dragon and his angels’ place in heaven could not be ‘found anymore in heaven’. Revelation 12:9 states that the ‘great dragon’, which I previously identified as the constellation DRACO, was cast out and re-identified as the SERPENT, the Devil and Satan. He is cast from the heavens to the earth. Just below the feet of Virgo, also with its head pointed toward her is the constellation SERPENS, the serpent which is also ready to devour her man-child. The constellation Serpens’ head is above the equator and its body below, which is representative of the sea, just as Hydra, the beast ‘rising from the sea’ in Revelation 13. The dual identification of Draco (high in the sky) and Serpens (low in the sky) as representing Satan cast down from the heavens to the earth and the sea is further confirmed by Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Both representations of Satan, Draco and Serpens stalk Virgo, waiting to DEVOUR her man-child. A LINE ‘cast down’ from Draco’s mouth-devourer (star Nu Draconis) through the Serpens’ mouth-devourer (star Gamma Serpentis) extending to below the sea (equator), also intersects with the tip of the tail of Hydra – Hy58 (beast rising from the sea). It was a surprise to me that the line intersected the tip of the tail of Hydra. The tip of the tail would represent the BEGINNING of the BEAST RISING FROM the SEA!!!! However, the more spectacular intersect is with the moon’s orbit on this date and time. The line from Draco’s mouth, through Serpens’ mouth touching the tip of Hydra’s tail, crosses the moon’s orbit EXACTLY where the NEW MOON was (14h 58min 25 sec RA and -22* 7.7’ declination) on the same date and time the sun had fully ‘clothed’ Virgo!!!! I checked to see if the same alignment occurred frequently. I manually checked from 1988 through 2028 and the only occurrence of this alignment intersecting with the Draco-Serpens-Hydra line was the date and time: 10/30/2008 00:00:00 UTC which is October 29, 2008 at 8:00 PM EST!!!! Make your own conclusions as to the timing of BHO’s ‘covenant with many’. I believe the alignment is a rare event. There are a few occasions where moon is in the general vicinity during that time-frame of 1988-2028. However, I don’t believe there is an occurrence during that time in which the moon is both below the sun’s ecliptic (thus below her left foot) AND a right ascension greater than 14 hours 43 minutes of Right Ascension, which is the RA of the star Mu Virginis, her right foot. To fulfill the Biblical description ‘moon below her feet’ the moon would also have to be below the sun’s Ecliptic as Virgo is parallel with this line and the sun passing almost directly over her left heel (star).
Consider this ‘coincidence’: a line passing from Draco’s mouth, through Serpens’ mouth (Satan cast down) to the tip of Hydra’s tail (the beast rising from the sea) intersects with a new moon at EXACTLY 8:00 PM October 29th, 2008 while Barack Obama is making his promises to the world; from the other end of Draco, a line beginning at the tip of his tail, passing through the feet of the bear, past the mouth of the lion through the head of Hydra (beast rising from the sea) crosses the sun’s Ecliptic at 9 hours RA 17* declination, which is EXACTLY the moment of Barack Obama’s claim of birth in Hawaii, August 4, 1961 at 7:24 PM. Draco’s head is connected to Hydra’s tail and Hydra’s head is connected Draco’s tail through EXACTLY two of the most significant dates in Barack Hussein Obama’s life!!!!! His days are written in the star’s timing EXACTLY as the Bible describes it, intertwined with Satan’s representations of the dragon (Draco), the serpent (Serpens) and the beast rising from the sea (Hydra).
