WHAT IS CHRISTMAS ASTRONOMY?
CHRIST RAPTURE TYPOLOGY
A Revelation 12 Sign Prophetic ‘Echo’

‘When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images’. -Hosea 11:1

The purpose of this study is to consider a possible Rapture typology inferred in the Christmas Story of the Bible. And specifically, if the flight of Jesus, being taken or ‘Raptured’ into Egypt for safety and away from King Herod’ threat to His life can be correlated, to a degree with the escape of the Bride of Christ? If you apply the prophetic typology of the Man-Child, i.e., Jesus being taken to Egypt for safe haven, it is ironic. How so? It is Biblically ironic in how it contrasts with the future deliverance from Egypt, of what the nation of Israel would become and led out by a ‘Joshua’.

Jesus is the Greater Joshua, He is also the Greater Jacob, the Prince of YHVH. It is fitting that He fulfills prophecy is how GOD calls His Son out of Egypt. This fulfilled the portion of Scripture in Hosea 11:1. There are so many layers of meaning and attribution to delve into. For sure the 1st Christmas was an ‘echo’ of the Revelation 12 Sign, in one’s assessment. Now, as to the Astronomy of Christmas? There have been prior researchers that have theorized about the Star of Bethlehem indeed being the Retrograde of Jupiter. One would concur with and agree with this astronomical assessment.

As Jehovah ordained the Sun, Moon and the Stars since Genesis for Humanity, they are a way of keeping time, and they were given as a form of communication in ‘Signs’. Signs of what? In this case, of the birth of Jesus and the visitation of the Magi. Now, note that these are 2 different events. The Magi were not present at the actual time and place of when Jesus was born. Thus, the December 25 Christmas Celebration is not the actual day of Jesus’ birth but the commemoration of the Magi’s visitation some 15 months later. Here below is some research into this amazing Astronomy that occurred, in one’s estimation on that 1st Christmas in Bethlehem, Israel.

One first heard of this Jupiter Retrograde from a Professor at a Christian College and bought his VHS cassette back in the mid-1990s. One has researched this topic extensively as it is 1 of the most amazing times and occurrences on Planet Earth and involving Humanity. It is no less than the Incarnation of the Creator, Jehovah taking one human flesh. Why? The arrival of GOD the Son, Jesus was and is a ‘Rescue Mission’ It was and is a battle for Humanity’s souls. It was and is to reverse the Curse of Adam and Even in Eden that forfeited Humanity’s birthright, dominion over Earth, etc.

Signs of the Savior
Worse, is that due to the consequences of Sin, Humanity was bound to ‘Perdition’ or an eternal existence permanently separated from a just and holy Creator, etc. Thus, based on these astronomical occurrences that were observed and recorded by the Magi on that 1st Christmas, December 25, 2 BC, one is convinced that celebrating the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day, through gift-giving is a commemoration of what the Magi provided and is very Biblical to do and participate.

However, what has Christmas devolved to in the West? Commercialism, partying, Red Men in suits, Yule Logs and decorated trees? That is for another debate or argument that one is not in agreement about. But what one wishes to point out in the amazing alignment is that if 2 BC was/is the 1st Christmas, then this date triangulates what one has hypothesized, in that it corroborates the following timeline markers of Jesus’s lifespan.

-The Hanukkah conception in 4 BC.

-The Rosh HaShanah birth in 3 BC.

-The Passover Crucifixion on April 14, 32 AD.
 
If you open the chart PDF link provided in the end notes of what the Magi saw in the night sky as they traveled down to Bethlehem from Jerusalem, looking south, they would have seen these amazing astronomical occurrences.
_____________________

1. The Constellation of Centaur was rising over the southern horizon, piercing Lupus, the ‘Victim’ as Crux, or the Cross rose right over Bethlehem. This Sign foreshadowed how Jesus was to be pierced at the Cross of Calvary to become the Sin Atonement.

2. Most people may not realize or know that the Cosmic Meridian bisects the Constellation of Virgo. As the sky was in that specific orientation that very hour, the Meridian line was vertical to the horizon. The Magi would have known this. It was as if Jehovah was directing them through this Cosmic ley-line of sorts to Jesus, as in a ‘Direct Line’ that only they, as Astrologers and Astronomers would have comprehended, etc.

3. Then for the grand finale, yes, that Retrograde of Jupiter appeared to ‘stop’ in the sky. Obviously, it cannot be detected by the naked eye. This required study and knowledge of Planet Orbits and their frequencies, i.e., the understanding that Jupiter has only a 12-year cycle positioning in Virgo. This is one argument that supports the idea that in no other year could these astronomical occurrences have happened, not until the next cycle in 12 years from that point in time or 12 years prior in 10 BC.
 
4. Then for good measure, Pluto, depicting the Lord of Death or the Underworld was at the feet of Virgo, as if Genesis 3:15 was being broadcast astronomically on how the Seed of the Woman would crush the Head of Lucifer. Then Venus was at Ophiuchus’ feet also and next to Mars in Scorpio, the ‘Adversary’. And again, like a double witness of how Ophiuchus, i.e., Venus, Jesus, the Man-Child came to do battle. But in the fight, as in Mars, the God of War is depicted in Scorpio. Jesus took the ‘Sting’ of Death and Sin, but Scorpio’s head was cursed, mortally.

Lastly, there was a Solar Eclipse the next day from the visitation of the Magi on December 26, 2 BC. What is rather interesting in keeping with the ‘sacrificial victim’ that the Christian Astronomy portrayed, the Solar Eclipse occurred in the Constellation of Capricorn, the Goat. Think of Yom Kippur and Scapegoat. Or think of the prophetic implication of the Passover Lamb. This Sign was as if Jehovah was accenting how Jesus was specifically born to die and be essentially slaughtered like a lamb. Capricorn is the Sign of the Slaughterer, etc.

This is depicted by the Giant Red Star of Antares in Scorpio’s head. Now circling back to the typology of the Rapture if one applies that to the Man-Child as inferring to the Church Body in how Jesus was rushed or ‘Raptured’ into Egypt? That is a great thought to consider. One would agree that it is a layer in the proverbial onion. Tangibly, in these End of Days as the Church age is about to conclude, the increased persecution of the ‘Red Dragon’ typology, in the case of the 1st Christmas, Herod seeking to devour Jesus can be likened to how all over the world, presently Brethren are, the Church is being ‘devoured’ but not destroyed. That is impossible.  

It is being allowed and was foretold by Jesus that there would be many Tribulations and casualties, some people and places worse than others. So, if anything one could add to this Jesus fleeing ‘Rapture’ thought? It is that, if it is any indication of how Lucifer, the ‘Red Dragon’ is sensing the Rapture event to come and how the Bride collectively or depicted as the Man-Child is about to be raptured-up to the Throne as in Revelation 12? The uptick in worldwide Christian Persecution is a Sign unto itself of the nearness of the Great Escape…To the ‘Greater Egypt’. As to the Rapture Year and Time? That is yet to be determined. But perhaps like the Magi, the Cosmic ‘ley-line’ leading to the Departure will be revealed and comprehended.
