‘I
Jesus, have sent My Angel to give you this Testimony for
the [7] Churches. I Am the Root and the Offspring of
David, the bright Morning Star [Venus].’-Revelation
22:16
The purpose of this study is to suggest that a ‘Menorah’
typology can be conveyed during the Revelation 12
Virgo Sign on September 23, 2017. The typology of
the Menorah with 7 branches correlates to the 7 luminaires
the
Virgo Sign will depict across the Ecliptic
on that day. These 7 celestial luminaries are the only
moving bodies within the constellation from Earth’s
perspective. This assertion is highly suggestive but
perhaps such a ‘Menorah’ typology at that place and time
conveys the ‘Signature’ of the Creator that has
patterned similar elements within
Creation to include the Creation Week, the
Jubilee Year Cycles, Pentecost and the 7-Churches
of Asia, etc. If the
Virgo Sign is to point to a major prophetic event,
that remains to be seen. It will not be what many are
purporting it to be but it does appear to be a piece of
the prophetic puzzle for the ‘Last Generation’ of the
End Times.
However, there are many skeptical commentaries regarding
the merits of this astronomical alignment. This study
suggests that out of all the years of the Revelation 12
‘rehearsals’, which occur every year in
Virgo and in varying degrees, there is a
convergence and synchronization of many other key and
amazing variables. This Revelation 12
Virgo Sign in 2017 is not like any other Celestial
Sign that might seem unapparent and/or
insignificant. This study suggests that it is about a
Biblically prophetic
Sign dealing with YHVH’s timepiece, Israel and its
national ensign, the Menorah – as a ‘Sign’. The Menorah
was replicated on Earth, as it was and is in Heaven and
given to Israel. However, during this present
‘intermission’ the followers of Jesus in the Church
Age are privileged with such ‘Signs’. One has to
understand the context of the present day in terms of
Biblical prophecy. Who is the ‘Sign’ for or to get whose
attention?
The Menorah Prophetic Pattern as the 7-Church Age
is can also be pegged to the 7 Feasts of YHVH and
Pentecost, etc. During this ‘Pentecostal Intermission’,
the
Church Age has been given much like Israel, the
very Oracles of the
Living Word, Jesus. However, the Gospel is
also accompanied by Signs and
Wonders. The light of the Gospel has been
entrusted to the Body of Believers during this
Church Age as a collective ‘Nation of Royal
Priests’. It is comprised of men and women of faith and
convection that rightly can and do attempt to divide the
Word of Truth below and ‘read’ the ‘Signs’
above. Most assuredly, it is Jesus that is at the core
of all Biblical Prophecy; a ‘more sure word of prophecy’.
Thus, it is incumbent upon the Followers of Jesus within
the
Church Body to investigate such ‘Signs’ above.
Menorah Prophetic Pattern
However,
will the
Church Body much like Israel forfeit this privilege
to even ascertain such ‘Celestial Signs’ as the Revelation
12 phenomenon? This study also seeks to correlate not only
the Revelation 12
Virgo Sign of 2017 with the Menorah Prophetic
Pattern but also with the anthropomorphic nature of
how even the human form is construed after such a Menorah
prophetic template. This typology is seen when the
Hand Sign of the Jewish Priests pronounce their
Blessings. The Menorah was fashioned after an almond tree
found in the Sinai regions where Moses built it after the
Exodus. The Menorah ‘template’ has 7 numerical
values that have corresponded to certain events like the 1st
coming of Jesus. It was Jesus that was crucified in the
midst of the week, the
4th Day that corresponded to the Servant Stem,
etc.

As
an aside note that is also fascinating to ascertain is the
notion of the hand signals or signs. Such hand signs are
prevalent for example with orchestras, gangs,
fraternities, Secret Societies, and for signing, etc. The
human hands communicate a numerical language as each digit
of the hand corresponds to a number or combination thereof
much like the Hebrews and Greek alphabet has with each
letter. Each letter in the human hand corresponds to a
number value, etc. Even the very name of a finger, that
`of a ‘digit’ comes from the meaning…‘number’ as the human
hands are used to count’. Thus the point is that the hands
function much like a ‘key’ with various ‘numerical
combinations’, etc. Even the apparent ‘design’ of the
hands can be seen as a ‘key’.
Isn’t
it the case that one uses the hands with a physical key to
open and close doors or set a combination numerical lock
to secure or unlock? This is why in the Bible, the hands
are used as ‘keys’; human ‘instruments’ to bless or ‘open’
or curse, to ‘close’ when communicating, etc. This Menorah
pattern can be ascertained of the High Priest as he
conveys this same 7-numerical sequence as the hand signs
are formed to make the
Priestly Blessing. The joining of the fingers and
outstretched arms depict, as if the ‘branches’ of the
Menorah -a Servant, as a ‘Tree’, a ’Menorah’ before the
Living Waters in the Presence of YHVH before His
Throne. Ultimately it is Jesus that is the ‘Key’.
Pertaining
to the ‘Menorah’ pattern on September 23, 2017, it is the
case astronomically with the 7-luminaries as the Sun and
planets travel along the
Ecliptic in relation to Earth’s plain.
Astronomically, around September and October the Sun
starts to traverse or move across the constellation of
Virgo. It starts from the ‘head’ region and in
fact, such a start coincides with the start of the
Mazzaroth or the Zodiac Sign sequence that
ends with Leo. The Mazzaroth is a tapestry or the
divine
Plan of Redemption with the central theme of the
Christ. Although there is an approximation of the
Revelation 12
Virgo Sign ‘every year’, there are distinguishing
factors in the configuration of the Revelation 12
Virgo Sign from all others in 2017 that are unique.
Uniqueness of the Revelation 12 Sign in 2017
There
are other astronomically factors that have to be present
to correspond precisely with the book of Revelation 12
depiction as given to the Apostle John by Jesus Himself.
There has to be a ‘Crown of 12 Stars’ and the ‘birthing’
of the Manchild which this study suggests is the
key and crucial factor in determining its uniqueness.
Moreover, this study seeks to introduce further that the
Revelation 12
Virgo Sign correlates celestially to the Menorah
Prophetic Pattern. Pertaining to the ‘Crown of 12
Stars’, the current supposition is that there are 3
planets that align themselves with the main 9 stars of Leo
to make up the ‘Crown ’of 12 Stars’. In actuality, the
head of Virgo already has 12 Stars without such
borrowing from
Leo. The following is the list of the variables
that makes the approximation of the Revelation 12 Sign in
2017 unique.
1- 1260
days from the last Blood Moon of the 2014-15 Tetrad.
2- 33 days from the Great American Eclipse in August of
2017.
3- In the 50th Jubilee from 1967 liberation of
Jerusalem.
4- In the 120 year of the 1st Zionist Congress.
5- In the 120 Jubilee Cycle of time since Genesis.
6- In the conjunction of the 70th year anniversary of
Israel’s ‘birth’.
7- Convergence at end of Sabbath and Rosh HaShanah,
Creation Calendar.
8- Conjunction of Moon with comet 67p.
9- Planetary alignment of Venus-Mars-Mercury to Giza
Pyramids.
10- Starts with Venus the prior was aligned to the
Christ Angle and Great Pyramid.
11- Retrograde of Jupiter ‘gestation’ within ‘womb of
Virgo’ coinciding with Moon and Sun.
12- Depicts a prophetic typological Menorah motif with
the symmetrical 7 luminaries.
13-There are 24 Jupiter retrogrades since the
Crucifixion, a factor of 8-8-8, the name of Jesus.
What
is unique about this 3-planet alignment of
Venus-Mars-Mercury is that it approximates the angle of
the 3
Pyramids of Giza. In particular, it is Venus
that prior to the Virgo Sign is in alignment with
the
Christ Angle in reference with and to the Great
Pyramid of Giza. Also what this study suggests is
that these 3-planets make up the 3 branches of the right
side of the ‘Menorah’ typology and celestially during the
Revelation 12
Virgo Sign. Such planets do also appear in the
other Revelation 12 renditions but are not in such unique
alignment as it will be in the Fall of 2017 and will never
be. Given that
Virgo is the only female ‘anthropomorphic’ Sign
in the Mazzaroth, she is reclined and as the planets
traverses the
Sign along the Ecliptic, they appear to be
‘birthing’ out of the ‘womb’ of Virgo. The following are
some of the misconceptions that are prevalent pertaining
the many misinterpretations of what the September 23, 2017
Revelation 12
Virgo Sign is potentially signifying prophetically.
1. The
Sign does not occur on the Feast of Trumpets but after.
2. The ‘birthing’ of Jupiter which is the key factor,
occurs on September 9, not 23rd.
3. The typology of the Rapture is not of the Church
Believers, this occurs in chapter 4.
The
LORD later on explicitly defines whom are associated with
the ‘ManChild’, ‘those that came out of ‘Great
Tribulation’. Consider that chapter 12 is not only the
middle ‘intermission’ of the revelation Jesus is giving to
John but it delineates the midst of the Tribulation period
and with such a corresponding Rapture that is the 4th
or ‘midst’ or ‘middle’ one out of 7 Raptures that comprise
the entirely of the Revelation account.
A Critique of the Sign
Many
have identified several problems with the supposed
Vigo Sign of September 23, 2017. As those that seek
truth and verification, the saying goes that
‘extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence’. One
possible proof is the unique element that that the Comet
67p will be conjoined with the Moon at the precise time
the Virgo Sign. It is if the comet is casting a
light of a flashlight to highlight and accent this
particular Revelation 12 rendition. In
Virgo, the planet Jupiter will have been
‘birthed’ already for 13 days and the Moon will have
reached
Libra. It will take approximately 11 hours from
that sunset on the 23rd, local time in
Jerusalem. Thus what these 3 heavenly luminaries to the
left of the Sun depict are the 3 ‘branches’ of the Menorah
to the left of the
Servant Stem of the Menorah where the Sun takes
‘center stage’, astronomically during the ‘Sign’.
There
have been others that have tried and try to debunk the
‘Great Sign’ as having occurred several times already.
What makes this Revelation 12
Virgo Sign of 2017 unique is that it occurs in
conjunction with other amazing convergence of other
Signs. No other Revelation 12 Virgo Sign
remotely occurs on such a timetable that speaks volumes of
Biblical prophecy converging. Upon closer examination, the
alignments do not satisfy the prime motif element of a
corresponding ‘gestation of Jupiter’ precisely in
the ‘womb of Virgo’ and in conjunction to a Moon and the
Sun. This ‘key’ is what distinguishes the
Virgo Sign of 2017 from all others astronomically
at least. The distinction of this version of the
Revelation12
Virgo Sign has to do with ‘time and place’.
What
would be some time markers that are possibly prophetic
pertaining to the
Sign? There are 2 events in particular that
converge at this time and place, mainly the 70th
and 50th year anniversaries dealing with
Israel. It has to do with its timing of how other apparent
synchronized events and time markers converge as no other
of its kind have. Granted there are some other close
approximation of the Revelation 12 depiction as the
constellation
Virgo is the only female ‘Sign’ that is positioned
to ‘birth’ heavenly bodies along the
Ecliptic. This study argues that the key
signature is the precise convergence of the retrograde of
Jupiter occurring in the ‘womb’ area of Virgo. As
noted, the Virgo Sign
happens to coincide with a comet and the 3 planetary
alignment. However this study suggests that the 3
planetary alignment of
Venus-Mars-Mercury as mentioned prior have to do
with the Christ Angle of the
Great Pyramid more than anything else.
It
would thus also be the
Sign that the Creator, YHVH pre-determined to
glorify the person, work and purpose of the Christ,
Jesus…even related to a time and place of His birth,
geographically. Some rightly point out that the apparent
depiction of
Leo having only ‘9’ stars and with it the 3 planet
alignments of Venus-Mars-Mercury constitutes the
‘Crown of 12 Stars’. It is a stretch as it depends on what
depiction of
Leo one is considering. In some Mazzaroth
depictions, the constellation of
Leo incorporates the front paws that includes Omicron
Leonis, Other Zodiac renditions have also the hind
leg that obviously has more than 9 stars, all inclusive.
Those that have promulgated the theory of the 12 Star
Crown of
Leo with the planetary alignment have just counted
the primary stars in
Leo that make up only the core of the body of Leo
per the software models presented in the Stellarium.
Many however are alarmed that the Church Body in
general and many Christians individually are ‘dabbling’ in
the art of sorcery or witchcraft of Astrology in
ascertaining the ‘Sign’ itself and its possible prophetic
meaning or significance. Many are convinced that it is an
absurd to think that the notion of the heavenly alignment
on September 23, 2017 will be fulfilling the Revelation 12
‘Sign’ in
Virgo as a ‘Sign’ is a marker of what is
to come and not the event itself. Most make such an
unfounded conclusion without knowledge in that most do not
even consider the principles of Astronomy. It is probably
one of the most sound and scientific realms to study as it
is precise, down to the minute, repeatable, has patterns
and can be replicated. This more than suffices for being a
true science based on the
Scientific Method of observation.
To reiterate, the point is that as the study suggests that
even the Revelation 12
Virgo Sign is depicting a Menorah Prophetic
Pattern. Celestially it is corresponding also to a
numerical sequence starting with
Venus and ends with the Moon. Astronomically,
the Sun will be in the center as if a ‘Servant Stem’ of
the Menorah. All the other heavenly bodies of ‘light’, 3
to the right, 3 to the left of the Sun is perhaps
signaling the ‘ensign’ of Israel’s coat of arms even. This
study also suggests that the human form, the body is as an
‘anthropomorphic’ Menorah. This is seen as the High Priest
would pronounce the
Blessing with the hands. The Breastplate
would be as if the ‘light’ or ‘Sun’ emanating from the 4th
or
Servant Stem core of the human body, as a tree…a
vine etc. It was the middle ‘Servant Stem’ of the Menorah
that the oil was poured-out first.
Spiritually
during this present
Church Age, it is the oil, that of the Holy Spirit
that nourishes and sustains the Anointing of a Disciple of
Jesus; to live a life of right living or righteousness and
holiness. This is impossible to accomplish by the sinful
flesh; it is in fact opposed to such a condition. Such was
the practice of anointing the heads of Kings, Priests,
Prophets, and the sick with the ‘laying on the hand’ and
with oil. What is most specular to conceptualize
astronomically during the Revelation 12
Virgo Sign of September 23, 2017 is that then the
centerpiece of this ‘Celestial Menorah’ is the Sun. This
Menorah Prophetic Pattern ultimately corresponds to
Jesus, the ‘Sun of Righteousness’ and
Light of the World. This Menorah Prophetic
Pattern, foremost speaks of Jesus being a metaphor
for a ‘Tree’,
The Branch (Tzemach) that is a Jewish euphemism for
the coming Messiah, the
Root of Jesse, etc.
Jesus is also likened to The Vine that has
branches and those that put their trust and faith for
salvation from sins are grafted into that stock, are saved
and nourishes. In fact, the name of Jesus in Hebrew
consists of 4 characters but in the Hebrew has 7-points.
Even the name of Jesus written in Hebrew can correspond to
the 7 lights of the Menorah, as if also to be the case
with the 7 luminaries of the Revelation 12
Virgo Sign. Jesus is the Center Stem
of the true Menorah typology that is currently functioning
in the
Office of the High Priest before the Throne of
YHVH. Jesus is the representative of Humanity, the 2nd
Adam. Jesus is currently working to bless, trim, correct,
feed and prepare His Bride. As Jesus functioned in the
past in the
Office the Prophet proclaiming the Gospel
and is presently operating in the
Office of the High Priest ‘Blessing’ His People,
one day that work will be done. He then will come for His
Bride to be met her in the Air in the
Office of the King to rule the nation with a Rod
of Iron.
