Hi:
Thanks for telling us about the sign you found.
I have worked years on when Jesus was born and died.
Maybe we can help each other. You know more about astronomy programs than I do,
and you make beautiful charts. You can check me out and see if I figured the
astronomy part correctly. It sounds like you have found another sign I had not
considered, both in BC 5 and today. The date of the hexagram on Nov 14, 2011 to
July 22, 13 seems to fit right in with the last tetrad.
I will copy my work on the birth and death of Jesus at
the end of this discussion.
I know that astronomers add in a zero year, so if I
want to check something out in 5 BC, I have to put in 4 BC. The astronomy
programs are more reliable than the modern calendar programs. The torah calendar
is more accurate in those days. The Gregorian Calendar is useless in those days.
They used the Julian Calendar.
I have figured out a workaround so I can use Calendar
Converter though. I add 2 days to the Hebrew Calendar and the Julian Calendar
will then be correct. Those 2 days were caused by Hillel II’s postponements.
Calendar Converter just extrapolated the modern calendar backward, so they are
off by 2 days in 5 BC and 30 AD.
> > Nonetheless, it would also be symbolically
that the Messiah would be born and die on a Passover.
I think Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets, Tishri
1, Sept. 4, 5 BC. The sign in Rev. 12 has to be in the sky for the correct date
for Tishri 1. I searched for that at YourSky. The only place I could find that
sign was Sept. 4, 5 BC. I set the city as Jerusalem. The Moon has to be under
Virgo’s feet on the true Tishri 1 when Jesus was born.
This may apply both to Jesus and to the Body of Christ, the Church. If it
applies to us, the First-Trump Rapture should be on the Feast of Trumpets
Mid-Trib.
Rev 12:1-5 says, “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing
in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder
in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the
stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was
born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his
throne.”
Herod died between the eclipse on March 13, 4 BC and
Passover. He had three sons who started their reigns in 4 BC, locking Herod’s
death in 4 BC.
Haggai 2:18,19 tells us that the “seed” (i.e., Jesus,
Gen. 3:15) was conceived on Kislev 24. Therefore, Jesus was born on Tishri 1,
the Feast of Trumpets.
Hag 2:18,19 says, “Consider (lit., take it to heart)
now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month
(Kislev 24), even from the day that the foundation (i.e., Jesus, I Cor. 3:11) of
the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it. 19 Is the seed (i.e., Jesus, Gen
3:15) yet in the barn (a saying meaning is she pregnant)? yea (YES), as yet the
vine (Jesus), and the fig tree (Israel), and the pomegranate (meaning the
upright), and the olive tree (Israel with the Gentile believers grafted in),
hath not brought forth (nasa, lifted up, i.e., been raptured): from this day
will I bless you.” The Saviour was on his way on Kislev 24.
Jesus was born into a new world on the Feast of
Trumpets. Since we are the Body of Christ, there is good reason to think that we
could be born into a new world on the Feast of Trumpets too. Different calendars
have the Feast of Trumpets on Sept. 25-27, 2014. I hope the First-Trump Rapture
will take place this year.
> > If any Feast of the LORD would have corresponded to when the
Messiah was to die as a ‘lamb’ metaphor, it could not have been any except
Passover. Thus perhaps the Lamb of GOD could thus only have been born on
Passover just as well in keeping with this godly theme of a sacrificial
substitution promised to Abraham and plan of redemption for Humanity.
I think Jesus died on the preparation of the Passover,
Thursday, April 6, 30 AD.
Mat_26:5 says, “But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar among the people.”
Mar_14:2 says, “But they said, Not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar of the people.”
Mar_15:42 says, “And now when the even was come,
because it was the preparation
Luk_23:54 says, “And that day was the
preparation, and the sabbath (i.e., the Annual Sabbath, Passover) drew
on.”
Joh_13:1 says, “Now before the feast of the passover,
when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world
unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them
unto the end.”
Joh_18:28 says, “Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto
the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the
judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the
passover.”
John 19:14,15 says, “And it was the preparation of the
passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your
King! 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify
him.”
> > The Passover is the only one of the 7 main
Feast of YHVH that requires an animal sacrifices.
There were animal sacrifices at Pentecost, and at other
feasts.
Lev 23:18-20 says, “And ye shall offer with the bread
seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two
rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat
offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet
savour unto the LORD. 19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for
a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace
offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall
be holy to the LORD for the priest.”
> > In 32 AD, a total lunar eclipse or Blood Moon
did occur at that precise time mathematically. This stipulated scenario and
series of events would concur if the Blood Moon event that occurred in 32 AD as
if to ’punctuate’ this time with its apex at 23:02 hours was the actual day of
the death of Jesus prior to sunset.
The darkness was supernatural. It lasted longer than an
eclipse.
Jesus began his ministry by announcing the coming
Jubilee Year (28 AD) on the Sabbath near his birthday and near the Day of
Atonement in 27 AD. He read from Isa. 61:1,2.
Luk 4:16-21 says, “And he came to Nazareth, where he
had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the
place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because
he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal
the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach
the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it
again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day
is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

The “Celestial Crucifixion” is new to me, so I searched
on Google and found some of your work. Among your charts, I found the one
showing the Temple north of the Dome of the Rock. I think it should be south of
the Dome of the Rock. According to Josephus, the rock under the Dome was in Fort
Antonia, north of the Temple court.
Josephus said, “Now, as to the tower of Antonia, it was
situated at the corner of two cloisters of the court of the temple; of that on
the west and that on the north; it was erected upon a rock of fifty cubits in
height, and was on a great precipice...the rock itself was covered over with
smooth pieces of stone, from its foundation, both for ornament, and that any one
who would either try to get up, or to go down it, might not be able to hold his
feet upon it.” (Ant. V. V. 8)
Later on, the Crusaders cut down a lot of that rock.
What is left is too wide to have fit inside the Holy of Holies.
Not having heard of the
hexagram alignment before, I searched for it on Google. Here is what I
found.
“Celestial researcher Luis Vega has documented a special
alignment of the planets that he calls the Star of David planetary alignment. It
occurs when certain planets form a geometric configuration of “2 interlocking
triangles that have 6 equidistant points within a 360 degree circle. One
triangle is facing up & the other facing down in a 2-dimensional aspect
ratio.”
”Mr. Vega has identified that 12 of these alignments have occurred since 1990 and a 13th will begin on July 22, 2013, and another will not occur for at least 100 years. He has also identified that the last 12 have had significant troublous events occur after their appearance....
”Mr. Vega has identified that 12 of these alignments have occurred since 1990 and a 13th will begin on July 22, 2013, and another will not occur for at least 100 years. He has also identified that the last 12 have had significant troublous events occur after their appearance....
”The Star of David alignments appear to have definite numerical patterns with corresponding symmetry to other Star of David alignments & with Total Lunar Eclipses. There are 13 Star of David planetary alignments that occur since 1990. The 13th Star of David alignment will be the ‘last one’ leading up to the Tetrad of 2014-2015. Like the Total Solar Eclipses on the 1st of Av that occurred in 2008, 2009 & 2010 that starting the ‘countdown’ to the 7 year Solar-Lunar pattern, it appears that this same principle or ‘astronomical law’ is also at work with the Star of David alignment pattern leading to some sort of a cosmic countdown.
“Perhaps it is like a celestial drum-roll that could be corresponding to the ‘labor pains’ that Jesus Christ warned about would characterize the Last Days before His Return. According to a generic description of a woman’s labor pains, the contractions become more intense & closer together in terms of frequency. It just so happens that the Star of David alignment pattern in the Heavens likewise has an increase in frequency leading up to singular one right before the Tetrad of 2014-15. This is assuming that the Tetrad of 2014-15 is when the LORD will focus back on national Israel & could very well be within the Tribulation Period as prophesized in Daniel 9.”
I also
watched the video “Hexagram – The Truth Behind the “Star of David” at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR3oI-dq_G4
I agree that this sign and the Tetrad seem to be
pointing us to end time events.
> > It is this study’s supposition that the Star
of Bethlehem was a serious of divine orchestrated alignments and events over a 4
year period of time that reflected the series of unique planetary conjunction
and celestial alignments at this particular time and place related to GOD’s
promise to Israel of the birth of their Royal King, the Messiah.
> > This would make the center dividing line of
the hexagram perpendicular to the other 2 cardinal stars of Regulus and
Fomalhault, that of Leo and Aquarius. These allude to the 4 Living Creatures of
the Lion, Bull, Eagle and Man Seraphim that are before the very Throne of YHVH
according to the Bible.
Those four faces were on the flags set at the compass
points when Israel camped around the Tabernacle. I learned that from Clarence
Larkin.
The rest I had to figure out with the Lord’s help. It
took me over 7 years. In all the books I read from the Seminary Collection at
BIOLA Library in La Mirada, CA., no one knew what Ezekiel saw. Some thought they
were angels. The picture below shows us what he saw. The central “fire infolding
itself” that had “brightness” about it was the Sun. Around it, orbiting in four
concentric rings, wheels within wheels, were the four terrestrial planets,
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Around those is the “great cloud” of asteroids.
Beyond that is Saturn, the only amber planet with a rainbow-like ring around
it.
The terrestrial planets are called cherubim. The outer
planets are called cherubim or seraphim, which means burners. They give off more
heat than they get from the Sun.
Earth is one of the orbiting globes.
Eze 1:15 says, “Now as I beheld the living creatures
(lively flying orbs), behold one wheel (orbit) upon the earth
by the living creatures (lively flying orbs), with his (earth’s) four faces.”
Earth faces east, south, west and north all at the same time, as do all the
planets. Those faces were on the flags put at the compass points when Israel
camped around the Tabernacle.
In the first verse of Eze 1, Ezekiel said, “the heavens
were opened, and I saw visions of God.” I should have paid more attention to
that. He was shown the heavens, and he did see God, the God/man Jesus
Christ.
Eze 1:26-28 shows us where the throne of the God/man
(Jesus) is located, on Saturn. It says, “And above the firmament (expanse
of space) that was over their heads (i.e., farther out in space than the
terrestrial planets) was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a
sapphire stone (which means dear to the planet Saturn, from the Sanskrit Sani,
Saturn, and priya, dear): and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness
as the appearance of a man (the only God/man is Jesus) above upon it. 27
And I saw as the colour of amber (Saturn is the only amber planet), as the
appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins
(i.e., from the equator) even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even
downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round
about. (that is Saturn’s ring system.) 28 As the appearance of the bow
that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness
round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.”
Josephus, a Pharisee priest, told us that the candlestick in the Temple
represented the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, the last
of the naked-eye planets. (Ant. III. VI. 7)
The sapphire is Jesus’ September birthstone, and it
means heaven. We may be born into a new world on the Feast of Trumpets and also
have the sapphire September birthstone that means heaven.
2Sa 22:11,12 says of the LORD, “he rode upon a cherub,
and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12 And he made
darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.”
Saturn has very thick clouds.
Eze 1:10 says, “As for the likeness of their faces,
they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and
they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of
an eagle.”
Each of the planetary globes faced four directions at
the same time. The lion means east. The man means south. The ox means west. The
eagle means north.
Isa 6:1-3 says, “In the year that king Uzziah died I
saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train
filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six
wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and
with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy,
holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
> > Some scholars
argue that all this timing of Christ’s possible birth can be pegged and/or fixed
around the purported death of Herod in -4 BC and thus the hexagram alignment
must be that ethereal ‘Star of Bethlehem’. It was also equated that Herod died
on a total blood moon, but there were none in -4 BC according to NASA’s
calculations. First there is the discrepancy of date setting of when ‘BC’ really
started. Moreover, Herod was a family name in that one of his sons was also
named Herod so it could have alluded to this Herod. Then there is the question
of what Jewish calendar is being used and the discrepancy of several days
eliminated due to the conversion from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. The
names of the months of the western year calendar based on the Latin is off too
as a whole month of ‘August’ in honor of Augustus Caesar was factored in which
throw off the sequence at least in terms of the
nomenclature.
Herod died between a lunar
eclipse and Passover.
Here is some of my work I
copied off of my website,
prophecycorner.theforeverfamily.com.
In PISCES, on
February 25, 6 BC, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn came to within 8 degrees of each
other. This only happens at 800-year intervals.
Rev 2:7 says, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life (symbol of Christ), which is in the midst of the PARADISE (the third heaven) of God".
In II Cor. 12:2-4, Paul said, "I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man (Paul himself, v 6,7) in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the THIRD HEAVEN (1. Mars, 2. Jupiter, and 3. Saturn). And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into PARADISE, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
According to Josephus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were represented by the 5th, 6th and 7th lamps in the lampstand in the temple. The 1st through 4th were Sun, Mercury, Venus and Earth (Ant. III. VI. 7). From Earth, the center lamp, there were only three heavens represented.
THE SIGN OF 5 BC THAT PRECEDED JESUS' BIRTH
In February, there
was a NOVA, a NEW STAR, IN CAPRICORN. It appeared in the east several hours
before sunrise. This could be the star that caused the wise men to travel to
Jerusalem. It winked out before the wise men arrived in Jerusalem.
That trip probably took about 4 months, 120 days. The wise men would have seen the star only part of the time. This could help us understand why they asked Herod where he that was born King of the Jews was located.
The star that went before them to Bethlehem and stood over the exact house seems to have been God's miracle, like the Shekinah Glory that led the Israelites in the wilderness. I don't see how any star far up in the sky could point out one house among many.

BC 4: THE FAST OF ESTHER PRECEDED THE LUNAR ECLIPSE AFTER WHICH HEROD DIED
In Ant. XVII. VI. 4, Josephus said of Herod, "he deprived Matthius of the high priesthood...and made Joazar...high priest in his stead. Now it happened, that during the time of the high priesthood of this Matthias, there was another person made high priest for a single day, THAT VERY DAY WHICH THE JEWS OBSERVE AS A FAST (THE FAST OF ESTHER, Adar 13, Esther 4:14)...But (the next day, Purim, Adar 14) Herod deprived this Matthias of the high priesthood, and burnt the other Matthias, who had raised the sedition, with his companions, alive. AND THAT VERY NIGHT THERE WAS AN ECLIPSE OF THE MOON."That eclipse was on March 13, 4 BC. NO OTHER ECLIPSE IS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE A FAST DAY DID NOT PRECEDE THEM.
HEROD DIED BETWEEN THE LUNAR ECLIPSE AND PASSOVER
Josephus mentioned the Lunar Eclipse. He said, "And that very night there was an eclipse of the moon. But now Herod's distemper greatly increased..." (Ant. XVII. VI. 4,5). He told of Herod's death in Ant. XVII. VIII. 1 and mentioned the Passover in XVII. IX. 3, saying, "Now, upon the approach of that FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, which the law of their fathers had appointed for the Jews at this time, which feast is called the PASSOVER..."Here are the possible eclipses from: Lunar Eclipses, Fred Espenak, NASA: mhttp://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEcat/LE-0099-0000.html

Archelaus ruled as Ethnarch ("Ruler of the Nation") over Judaea, Idumaea (the original homeland of his family), and Samaria from 4 BC to 6 AD. Rome banished him to Gaul after he had ruled 9 years, from 4 BC to 6 AD." (Herod Archelaus, Ethnarch 4 B.C. - 6 A.D. (Forvm Ancient Coins)

The Herodian Dynasty
http://www.amuseum.org/book/page10.html
After Herod's death in 4 BCE, the Roman Emperor Augustus divided his kingdom among Herod's three sons. Archelaus was appointed ethnarch ...
Herod Antipas received purely Jewish but widely separated area - Galilee and Peraea (Jewish Transjordan). And the third son, Herod Philip, was given predominantly non-Jewish settlements in Syria. This was reflected in their coinage...
The coins of Herod Philip II (4 BCE - 34 CE) are generally of middle bronze size, depicting a portrait of the Roman Emperor on the obverse and the facade of a tetrastyle (four columns) temple on the reverse; they are all dated according to the Emperor's regnal year.

According to Josephus, a Pharisee priest, the lampstand in the Temple represented the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Our 3 heavens are Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Paul was caught up to the 3rd Heaven, Saturn (Paradise) (II Cor 12:2-4)

Hag 2:18,19 says, "Consider (sum labab, take it to heart) now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation (JESUS, 1Co 3:11) of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it. 19 Is the seed (zera, seed or child) yet in the barn? (a saying, meaning is she pregnant) yea (i.e., YES, Jesus was conceived), as yet the vine (Jesus), and the fig tree (Israel), and the pomegranate (meaning upright), and the olive tree (Israel with the Gentiles grafted in), hath not brought forth (NASA, lifted up): from (min, after) this day will I bless you" (i.e., Jesus was conceived on Kislev 24, and the Rapture will be after that Kislev 24).
1Co_3:11 says, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
THIS NOVA HERALDED THE BIRTH OF JESUS AND PROBABLY MADE THE WISE MEN START THEIR TRIP
5 BC, A NOVA, MEANING "NEW STAR," ACTUALLY AN EXPLODING STAR, WAS SEEN IN CAPRICORN. It probably was what the wise men had been watching for.
The Chinese recorded it, it was seen close to Alpha and Beta Capricornii March 10, and was visible 70 days. JESUS' death and resurrection are pictured in CAPRICORNUS. The Lord named the stars. The 2nd brightest star is DENEB AL GEDI, meaning THE LORD, OR SACRIFICE, COMETH.
THE LORD "SHALL COME UNTO US AS THE RAIN"
Hos. 6:3 says, "he shall COME UNTO US AS THE RAIN, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."
His First Advent is as the Former Rain in Israel, Tishri 1, the Feast of Trumpets that begins their Civil Year when the sun is in VIRGO.
His Second Advent is as the Latter Rain, Nisan 1, the first day of the Regnal and Sacred Year in the spring (Eze, 29:17,21), when the sun is in ARIES (March 21 to April 20), the LAMB pictures Jesus as the Lamb of the tribe of Judah. Aries means battle strife. The brightest star is El Natik, the wounded or slain. Second brightest is Al Sheratan, meaning the bruised.
At the time of the Crucifixion, the unnatural darkness may have been to give the people a vivid view of Aries. Those 2 stars would have stood out.
--5 BC, Another Nova was also seen near the star Altair, meaning the flier or flying (eagle)

4 BC, 16th year of Temple construction, Herod died between eclipse of Mar. 13 (Adar 25, 3755) and Passover (no other eclipse is possible, because Esther's fast of Adar 13 did not precede them (Josephus Ant. XVII. VI. 4,5; Ant XVII. VIII.1).

XVII. vi. 4: "Now Now it happened, that during the time of the high priesthood of this Matthias, there was another person made high priest for a single day, that very day which the Jews observe as A FAST (i.e., Esther's Fast, Nisan 13). The occasion was this:--This Matthias the high priest, ON THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT DAY WHEN THE FAST WAS TO BE CELEBRATED, seemed, in a dream, to have conversation with his wife; and because he could not officiate himself on that account, Joseph, the son of Ellemus, his kinsman, assisted him in that sacred office. But Herod deprived this Matthias of the high priesthood, and burnt the other Matthias, who had raised the sedition (i.e., over the eagle Herod placed at the temple), with his companions, alive. AND THAT VERY NIGHT THERE WAS AN ECLIPSE OF THE MOON." (i.e., March 13, 4 BC).
Ant., XVII, viii, 1: Herod "died, the fifth day after he had caused Antipater to be slain; having reigned, since he had procured Antigonus to be slain, thirty-four years; but since he had been declared king by the Romans, thirty-seven."
Wars. I. 33. 8: "So Herod, having survived the slaughter of his son five days, died, having reigned THIRTY FOUR YEARS, since he had caused Antigonus to be slain, and obtained his kingdom; but THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS SINCE HE HAD BEEN MADE KING by the Romans."
Wars. II. I. 1,3: "Now the necessity which Archelaus was under of taking a journey to Rome was the occasion of new disturbances; for when he had mourned for his father seven says, and had given a very expensive funeral feast...at the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH WAS NOW AT HAND, AND IS BY THE JEWS CALLED THE PASSOVER" (i.e., they ate unleavened bread on Passover).
Fred Espenak, at NASA, listed the Lunar Eclipse as March 13, 4 BC. The correlation is perfect. YourSky shows that March 13, 4 BC was the day of the Full Moon in Virgo. That is necessary for there to be a Lunar Eclipse.
Josephus Ant. XVII. VIII. 4 says, "Now Archelaus paid him so much respect, as to continue his mourning till the seventh day; for so many days are appointed for it by the law of our fathers; and when he had given a treat to the multitude, and LEFT OFF HIS MOURNING, he went up into the temple...and took his seat, in a throne made of gold". He left for Rome to get his kingship confirmed between Unleavened Bread and Pentecost.

"During the last years of Augustus' reign, ".....the consuls caused a law to be passed.....that he (Tiberius) should govern the province jointly with Augustus and hold the census with him" (Seutonius Ed. J. C. Rolfe, LCL, 1, p.323). Tiberius began his co-rulership with Augustus in A.D. 12.This means that the 15th year of Tiberius was A.D. 26. There was a two year co-regency from A.D. 12 to A.D. 14"
COINS TELL THE TRUE STORY
http://members.aol.com/JOSEPHUS/coins.htm Herod the Great (ruled 37 BCE - 4 BCE)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodian_coinage
"Herod Archelaus (ruled 4 BCE - 6 CE)"
"Herod Antipas (ruled 4 BC-39 AD)"
"Herod Philip II (ruled 4 BC-34 AD)"
"The coins of Herod Philip II are mostly bronze of middle-size. He was the first Jewish ruler to put portraits of himself and the Roman Emperors on his coinage. An early issue has a portrait of the Emperor Augustus, with the Greek inscription 'KAICAPI CEBACTO' on the obverse, and ... on the reverse. Later coins depicted Tiberius on the obverse, with the inscription 'TIBEPIOS SEBAS', and ... on the reverse. Both types had the facade of a four-columned temple on the reverse, possibly the Temple in Jerusalem. The coins are dated according to the year of the Emperor's reign."
Josephus: Herod died shortly after a Lunar eclipse (Ant. XVII. VI. 4), but prior to Passover (Wars. II. I. 3.)

1ST YEAR OF TIBERIUS' RULE AS CO-REX, 12 AD
This coin has head of Tiberius on one side and head of Augustus on the other side. It was minted in 13 AD
(picture omitted)
"From A.D. 4 to 14 Tiberius was clearly Augustus's successor. When he was adopted, he also received grants of proconsular power and tribunician power; and in A.D. 13 his proconsular power was made co-extensive with that of Augustus. [11] In effect, Tiberius was now co-princeps with Augustus so that when the latter finally died on 19 August A.D. 14, Tiberius's position was unassailable and the continuation of the Principate a foregone conclusion. After 55 years living at the behest of his stepfather, Tiberius finally assumed the mantle of sole power." (http://www.roman-emperors.org/tiberius.htm)
