Lately, there has been a lot of interest in a letter I wrote over a year ago regarding an amazing series of heavenly signs I discovered. Since then, several other connected heavenly signs have occurred. I wrote of these additional signs throughout several letters that were not specifically focused on this one story. As the year 2005 has progressed, these signs appear to be pointing more and more towards the Israeli land disengagement. Additionally, a fellow watcher and brother in Christ recently informed me of another space object which also adds significance to these signs. Perhaps we are at the cusp of a major event that will ultimately result in the start of the final time counts, leading the world to its final redemption.
The intent of this letter is to tie all these signs together in one place. The focal point appears to be this upcoming 9th of Av, so I'll start there.
The 9th of Av, as all Hebrew dates, actually begins the day before at sunset. So this year, the 9th of Av actually starts on August 13th. Keep in mind that the number 13 represents rebellion. If one were in Jerusalem on 8/13/2005 and looked up at the western sky at dusk, one would see the following celestial configuration in the heavens at 8:30 PM Jerusalem time:
Jupiter [Hebrew: Tzedek] means the King star; the Lord our Righteousness [I.E. It represents the Messiah]. Jupiter is towards the "center or womb" of Virgo, ready to be "born". Virgo [Hebrew: Bethulah] means the virgin; promised seed of the woman. Virgo is clothed with the sun because it is dusk. Venus [Hebrew: Nogah] means the bright and morning star; it can represent either the Messiah or the Bride depending on the context of surrounding celestial events. In this context it represents the Messiah as well. Generally the constellation Coma Bereneces is representative of the garland of twelve stars in biblical astronomy. And finally, the moon is under Virgo's feet.
This is an exact depiction of Revelation 12!!
Revelation 12:1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. [NKJV]
What makes this even more astounding is that the balance of the Revelation 12 story plays out in the heavens from the 9th of Av through Sukkoth 2005, but we'll get to that later.
The original date set for disengagement was 8/14/2005, which is still the 9th of Av on the Hebrew calendar. Sharon pushed the start date back because this was pointed out to him, but I don't believe this really effects the significance of this sign. The "season" of disengagement has already begun, and will continue several weeks after the 9th of Av. This catastrophic date in Israel's history, and the sign which highlights it, is front and center. The destruction of both Temples is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av, and the destruction was due to Israel's rebellion. The connection between the 9th of Av, the number 13, this heavenly sign, and the events on the ground is remarkable. We must also consider that the sign itself points to the time of great tribulation. Just read the rest of chapter 12.
Disengagement is a catastrophe because it breaks God's covenant [I.E. The giving up of land]. It has its roots in the Oslo Accords. Through research I have discovered some amazing connections of this event to Oslo.
Jupiter transits through the 12 signs of the Mazzaroth approximately every 12 years. That means it will be in any given sign about 12 years after the last time is was in that sign. Do you want to know when Jupiter was last in Virgo? It was last in Virgo in September 1993. Do you remember what happened in September 1993? Oslo!! The giving up of land accord. Specifically, on 9/13/1993 [there's that 13 again], on the very day that the agreement was signed in Washington, the following could be seen in the sky above Jerusalem at dusk, 6:15 PM:
Virgo clothed with the sun. Jupiter in almost the exact same position as it will be on the 9th of Av this year. Mars is also in conjunction with Jupiter in Virgo. Mars [Hebrew: Madim/Maa'dim] signifies Michael the warrior angel, the personification of war, or war itself. And there is little ol' Mercury present as well. Mercury [Hebrew: Kochau/Kokah] as an evening star is rarely seen which gives it another meaning; To Herald; The Messenger.
This is not the only connection of heavenly signs, the giving up of land, and the number 13.
When the Israeli Knesset officially committed to giving up the land of the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank permanently, for the first time in their history, there was another heavenly sign marking the occasion. The commitment was approved by the Knesset on Tuesday 10/26/2004. The next evening, 10/27 into 10/28, there was a blood moon eclipse with interesting facets. Remember, a blood moon eclipse is a part of the celestial signs of the Day of the Lord. Totality occurred 4:23 to 5:45 AM Jerusalem time on 10/28. Basically, the eclipse reached totality resulting in a blood moon, then the fully eclipsed blood moon set in the west around 5 AM as seen from Jerusalem.
At the same time the moon was setting on the western horizon, there was a loose conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and Mars in Virgo rising on the eastern horizon just before dawn. This time Virgo was clothed with the morning sun. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Here is a chart of the conjunction from Jerusalem at 5:00 AM on 10/28/2004:
The connections don't end there! Gaza was closed off to all non-residents last week, essentially a precursor to disengagement. The date this occurred was July 13 [yet another rebellion related 13]. That night, there was a conjunction of the moon and Jupiter in Virgo, a foreshadowing of the soon to occur Rev. 12 event on the 9th of Av. Here is a chart of the conjunction from Jerusalem at 10:30 PM:
Incredibly, this is still not the end of this series of related signs! As I mentioned at the beginning of this letter, a brother in Christ pointed out another heavenly object that has been making worldwide news lately. On July 4th, science accomplished a difficult feat. They smashed an impactor probe into a comet so they could see what it is made out of. This accomplishment itself, while amazing, is not a sign. But what is very interesting is that this comet is going to follow an orbit that brings it through Virgo, Libra, and Scorpius now through September. The moon and planets in the Rev. 12 sign follow the EXACT same path at the EXACT same time. We'll get to the rest of the Rev. 12 sign shortly.
The comets name: TEMPLE 1!! Does that grab your attention?
Comets are regarded as harbingers of doom. This certainly ties into all the signs we've discussed so far. The remarkable aspect about this particular comet is that mankind directly "touched" or "interfered" with it. Just as man is "interfereing" with God's covenant in Israel!! An action that will certainly result in doom!!
Astounding!!
Now for the rest of the Rev. 12 signs and story.
Jupiter and Venus will travel through the body of the virgin Virgo towards Libra through early September 2005. This will be visible in the early evening sky in Jerusalem. It represents the progression of the birthing process. On 9/1/2005 there is a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus within Virgo; a strong sign of the Messiah. Here is the chart of this event as seen from Jerusalem at 8:10 PM:
Then Venus, also representing the Messiah, is "born" on 9/6 - 9/7. Moreover, the new moon will be in conjunction with Venus and Jupiter within Virgo on these days. The conjunction will be on opposite sides of Venus and Jupiter with the moon traveling in the direction of birth through Virgo. Again, a strong sign of the "birth" of Messiah in our story. The following 2 charts show this conjunction and the "birth" of Venus as seen from Jerusalem at 7:00 PM each day:
9/6/2005:
9/7/2005:
While all these celestial signs are dominating the evening hours, another part of the story is being told in the predawn hours. From approximately 8/16/2005 through 8/26/2005, the likely timeframe for Jews being forcefully expelled from their homes, Mercury and Saturn will be visible in the ENE at early dawn. Specifically, on 8/20 - 8/21 there will be a conjunction of Mercury and Saturn in Cancer. Here is the chart of this event as seen from Jerusalem at 5:00 AM:
Saturn [Hebrew: Shabbtai] generally represents Satan. Mercury [Hebrew: Kokah] can represent the angel Gabriel; it also means the messenger. Cancer [Hebrew: Sartan] means the sheepfold; to bind together; Messiah's redeemed; His possessions held fast. This sign pictures the battle occurring over the redeemed between Satan and God's angels, with Mercury representing both "messenger" and angel Gabriel. If we look at the balance of Revelation 12, we see this being portrayed.
Revelation 12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. [NKJV]
While the battle is over the fate of mankind in general, it is also focused on the redeemed in particular because they will be the overcomers by the blood of the Lamb. This sign clearly pictures this battle, while at the same time we have the rest of the story developing at dusk! And the messenger star is visible at magnitude 0.7 [Mercury is not usually this bright]. A few days later on 8/25/2005 there is a conjunction of the moon and Mars [I.E. War] high in the night sky, which further reinforces this battle sign.
Again, the timing of this sign is concurrent with the forceful disengagement itself. Surely there is a battle being waged in the spiritual realm over this event!! And the heavens bare this out.
Back to Dusk. From 9/6/2005 through approximately 9/25/2005, Jupiter will also be moving towards the birthing position in Virgo, and will be just disappearing below the horizon when it becomes visible after sunset. Venus will be moving towards Scorpius through Libra. Here is the view of this sign on 9/25 from Jerusalem at 6:10 PM:
The purpose of the virgin "Israel" bringing forth the "Man Child" Yeshua, is the redemption of His people, both old and new covenant. In the 9/25/2005 chart above, you will also see that Venus, representing the Messiah, is just entering into the constellation of Libra. Libra [Hebrew: Mozanaim] means the scales weighing; purchase; redemption. This sign represents the price which is deficient / verdict against man on the one side of the scale, and the price which covers on the other side of the scale, showing His payment of redemption for mankind. The bringing forth of the Man Child was for the purpose of a final everlasting atonement for sin. This sign further picturing the story of Rev. 12 is awesome indeed, but it is not the only thing happening on this day! On this very night the moon will also be in Gemini. This will be visible from approximately midnight until dawn as the moon and Gemini transverse the night sky. The moon [Lavanah] represents messianic hope, while Gemini [Teomaim] the twins sometimes represents His two peoples, Israel and the church. This contextual meaning is gloriously harmonious with the dusk sign occurring the very same night. Simply incredible!!
For the next several days, Virgo will be disappearing into the sunset horizon and will no longer be visible. This fulfills Rev. 12:6 "Then the woman fled into the wilderness". Venus will continue to move directly towards the mouth of Scorpio. This brings us to the next amazing sign in the heavens.
On 10/3/2005, the day of the eve of Rosh Hashanah, there will be a solar eclipse as seen from Jerusalem. Although it is an annular eclipse, its significance cannot be neglected. Especially since it occurs on a significant date within the context of all these heavenly signs. Here is a chart of this eclipse from Jerusalem at 12:00 noon:
This eclipse occurs within Virgo the virgin!! Jupiter has now been "born" as well. And the woman is still "clothed with the sun" during this eclipse. Mercury the messenger has moved from Cancer and has now conjoined with Jupiter in Virgo. This is yet another incredible sign on a significant date. And 10 + 3 is 13! And now we have a darkening of the sun, another Day of the Lord like sign.
A few days after this eclipse, on 10/7/2005, the moon and Venus will be in conjunction at the mouth of Scorpius. Here is the chart from Jerusalem at 6:10 PM:
This is a fulfillment of Rev. 12:4 "And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born." Scorpius [Hebrew: Akrab/Aqurav] means wounding him that cometh; the conflict. Is your head zooming now? There is more.
Each evening Venus will transverse Scorpius moving towards the feet of Ophiuchus. On 10/17 - 10/18 there is a conjunction of Mars and the moon while Venus is about to move out of Scorpius. This is the start of Sukkoth!! Again we have a sign representing conflict, on a significant date. Moreover, each evening during Sukkoth, Scorpius will be diving towards the earth at dusk.
Revelation 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [NKJV]
Venus moves into Ophiuchus at the same time. Following is the chart for the last day of Sukkoth, 10/24/2005, at 6:10 PM:
In this sign we have Ophiuchus [the serpent holder] standing on Scorpius [Satan] with Venus [Messiah] moving into Ophiuchus. Within this context, Ophiuchus represents Christ ultimately defeating Satan, ruling in power with His enemies trampled under His feet. This is the ultimate conclusion to the redemptive story and is harmonious with Revelation 12.
And thus the great signs of 2005 that I currently know about have ended.
Again I say ASTOUNDING!!!!
We have all these signs pointing to the story of Revelation 12, which is essentially the entire redemptive plan of God played out in the heavens, within the context of the end of days. We have rebellion occurring on multiple dates of 13, tied to the 9th of Av when the first 2 Temples were destroyed because of rebellion. We have a comet named Temple, the only one ever interfered with by man. And we have signs shouting from the heavens on significant Hebrew feast/fast dates and MAJOR milestones of the disengagement, land for peace catastophe!!!!
The disengagement clearly appears to be a tremendous marker on the end times clock. We still don't know all the details. But I anticipate the balance of 2005, and likely 2006, will be a crucial time for mankind. God has warned us through His creation.
