What questions?
:>
Oh... (smile).
Just teasing you. Hype! Ignore that.
Anyway, I looked up some astronomy and I really didn't come up with anything that I would think would be significant. Of course, I only have the precise times and dates for two events that I can be sure of and that is the date of the birth of the Messiah in 1950 and the date the "sign of the Son of man" appeared in the clouds on December 26, 1992.
Unfortunately, there are some similarities. I'm offering this just for trivia. But basically if you follow patterns, it might have been possible if you presumed the "period of darkness of the sun and moon" mentioned in Matthew 24 could be related to the time the Messiah was in the grave from Nisan 20th until Nisan 23, which was about 2-1/2 days, and you superimpose the 1290 days onto 1947 and the 1335 days onto 1992, then you can sort of chart when the Messiah might have been born in line with the idea that he would be around his 40th year by 1989. The time of his being "cut off" at the beginning of the 70th week, just as in the case of the 70th week from 29CE to 36CE, corresponds to the fall of 1989 to the fall of 1996. Of course, there is a jubilee of 49 years from 1947 to 1996. The Messiah "dies" at mid-week in both cases by the time of passover of either 33CE or 1993 AD.
So based upon that, the JIOR would have figured the Messiah would be born in late 1949-1950 in order to have reached his 40th year by 1989, 40 being the standard time for testing during which the Messiah would leave God's house as the prodigal son at some point, and return at Passover of 1992.
So this general pattern was again fulfilled. Below are the astrographs for the date of the Messiah's birth and the date the sign of the Son of man appeared in the clouds. Interestingly, I suppose you could consider a few similarities.
For one, it is a very new moon in both cases and in both cases the new moon is in Capricorn, the Goat. Also Venus is in Capricorn on both occasions. At his birthdate, Jupiter is also in Caprison, but at the time he is anointed as the Messiah, Saturn is in Capricorn. So at least Venus and one other major planet are in Capricon along with a new Moon on each of these occasions.
You're the resident astronomer-priestess, so you can draw any coincidences you want. I have no specific references other than the fact that both Venus and the new Moon are in Capricorn on both occasions. ????
I have no feelings at all about the similarities. But still thought I'd just show you for trivia's sake.
Cheers,
Bibleman
