Astrology
and The Bible
First of
all, the birth sequence is completely astrological. The star in the east is
Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which, on December 24th, aligns
with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt. These 3 bright stars are called
today what they were called in ancient times: The Three Kings. The Three Kings
and the brightest star, Sirius, all point to the place of the sunrise on
December 25th.This is why the Three Kings "follow" the star in the
east, in order to locate the sunrise -- the birth of the sun.
The Virgin
Mary is the constellation Virgo,also known as Virgo the Virgin. Virgo in Latin
means virgin. The ancient glyph for Virgo is the altered "m".
This is why
Mary along with other virgin mothers, such as Adonis's mother Myrrha, or
Buddha's mother Maya begin with an M. Virgo is also referred to as the House of
Bread, and the representation of Virgo is a virgin holding a sheaf of wheat.
This House
of Bread and its symbol of wheat represent August and September, the time of
harvest. In turn, Bethlehem, in fact, literally translates to "house of
bread". Bethlehem is thus a reference to the constellation Virgo , a place
in the sky, not on Earth.
There is
another very interesting phenomenon that occurs around December 25th, or the
winter solstice. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days
become shorter and colder. From the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the
sun appears to move south and get smaller and more scarce. The shortening of
the days and the expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice
symbolized the process of death to the ancients. It was the death of the Sun.
By December 22nd, the Sun's demise was fully realized, for the Sun, having
moved south continually for 6 months, makes it to it's lowest point in the sky.
Here a curious thing occurs: the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably,
for 3 days. During this 3 day pause, the Sun resides in the vicinity of the
Southern Cross, or Crux, constellation.
And after
this time on December 25th, the Sun moves 1 degree, this time north,
foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring. And thus it was said: the Sun
died on the cross, was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again.
This is why
Jesus and numerous other Sun Gods share the crucifixion, 3-day death, and
resurrection concept. It is the Sun's transition period before it shifts its
direction back into the Northern Hemisphere, bringing Spring, and thus
salvation.
However,
they did not celebrate the resurrection of the Sun until the spring equinox, or
Easter. This is because at the spring equinox, the Sun officially overpowers
the evil darkness, as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration than night,
and the revitalizing conditions of spring emerge.
