Hi Beaver,
Just a note on the January 1950 astrotext.
If you will notice the Moon is sort of in a triangulum with Jupiter and Venus. Well just a few hours earlier, the Moon was in a direct line with those three planets!
So I find that rather startling. That within a day you have the new moon lined up in a direct line in Capricorn with either Jupiter or Saturn between the new moon and Venus.
If you turn Capricorn into a "sheep" then it would be the sign of the Christ. Even though a goat is also representative of the Messiah since the "scapegoat" on Atonement day carries away the sins of the nation:
Leviticus 16:20 says: "When he has finished making atonement for the holy place and the tent of meeting and the altar, he must also present the live goat. And Aaron must lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat and confess over it all the errors of the sons of Israel and all their revolts in all their sins, and he must put them upon the head of the goat and send it away by the hand of a ready man into the wilderness. And the goat must carry upon itself all their errors into the desert land and he must send the goat away into the wildnerness."
Interestingly Paul mentions "Let us, then, go forth to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach he bore."
This could be prophetic that at the Second Coming they would have to meet Jesus ouside the camp or outside the city since he would suffer primarily outside the gates. In the case of the Second Coming, the JIOR establish themselves in the "wilderness" to meet the Messiah, not in the city.
So that's enough of a connection to Capricorn if one is looking for one. The scapegoat of Atonement Day.
That works. And the prophetic pattern of the 1290 days and 1335 days fulfilled upon the Second Coming with Christ's ministry works as well when you date is death correctly on Nisan 20th, which is 45 days from Pentecost. The 40 days after the resurrection correspond quite well to the 40 years when the Messiah would be tested. In addition, Jesus used disguises or caused persons not to recognize him during the 40 days which might have been prophetic that only those who were watching for the signs of the Messiah and who knew him intimately well via the scriptures would recognize him as he would be in disguise; and, specifically, would no be in the same body he had before but a different one.
See what you started, my dear! Now you've got even me believing in the stars and planets!
All this is very consistent with the Second Coming in the flesh, and in secret. Isaiah 53, interesingly, which also relates the Second Coming talks about this one carrying the sins of the people. There some special hidden meaning in that I have yet to fully appreciate. But the goat being sent live outside the camp, not being sacrificed, carrying the sins of the people and going into the wilderness could be very prophetic of aspects of the nature of the Second Coming Messiah.
And now we have the goat, Capricorn to deal with with unusal signs of planetary line-ups on critical dates of the Second Coming.
All quite mysterious!
Cheers,
