Laying a Good Foundation for Revelation Chapter 12

witness1 There are several downloads available. I found a free one that is actually pages of an old library book. It's kinda like examining an original manuscript. Makes the search even more fun! I don't know how to copy and paste links but the address is www.richard-2782.net .also it goes by witnessofthestarsbullinger.pdf sorry for my feeble help. Good luck and enjoy!

Good job! I will be happy to compare notes. I work at home and check my tablet often when I take breaks. Thanks again for your interest. Just what I was hoping for!

sawdy I am glad you are enjoying the book. It does give one a lot of things to re-consider. I have heard about the sphinx originally having a lion head but his supporting evidence in the carvings seems to suggest the sphinx is a woman/lion figure. I will see if I can locate more info somewhere,

The birth of Christ as an alternative to the man child birth is very intriguing too. My thought for now is that the stars tell the story of the birth of Christ over and over again. The planets add another level to the picture. They also point to one event rather than an often seen arrangement. So it is both/and rather than either/or, I don't know how much Ethelburt considered the planets. I've got a lot of reading to do as well! I think this first sky book is the one we are living through now. I will read the other two of course. Who knows what treasures lie there for us!

Good morning fellow sky watchers! I have been reading through the first sky book based on Bullinger's work and Stellarium. I've had some time to chew on the data and have a few thoughts to share that might help clarify the picture.

First of all, and many of you might already know this, the story in the sky can be divided into twelve slices, like a pie. Every four months the sun passes through four of the slices, illuminating various constellations along the path. This four month period is a book. Each year the same book is available for reading at the same time. Some of you might use a schedule in your Scripture reading. Some of you might try to break up your reading so that you read the entire Bible in one year. That is sort of like the sky books - a sort of schedule of suggested reading. The sun is like a book marker in your Bible.

we have had the opportunity to live through the greatest and most important "reading" of the first book of the sky. the difference this time is that the planets, along with the sun and moon, have pinned down this reading as the end time. What has been seen in part in the sky over many centuries is being seen in vivid color and action today. Our Rapture is a part of this reading but it is not the conclusion.

If you remember the sign of the woman in September, think about where the sun was. As the 23rd and 24th approached, the sun was at the beginning of the book. So, if the book is read for four months, the end of the book will happen in January. At that time the sun has passed mostly through Sagittarius.

There is an interesting pair of celestial events on the 6th of January. There is a conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in Libra and there is a near conjunction of the sun and Venus way over at the other end of the story in Sagittarius. How are they related? If the Mars/Jupiter conjunction is a legal court battle fought in heaven and will result in Satan's legal right to live up there being thrown out, then where is Jesus? If Jesus has been associated with Venus, why is he occupied at the other end of the book? Remember in Revelation 12 who it is who is fighting with the dragon and his angels - Michael! Maybe Michael is a sort of lawyer/legal advocate for us in Libra. What about Jesus? Let me offer an little picture:

Remember WW2? It was fought by two opposing groups, the allies and the axis. The allies were primarily England, the US, Canada, Australia, and others. The axis forces were mainly Germany, Italy and Japan.(Yardstick and others, please forgive me if my details are off.) And the war was fought in two main theaters, Europe and the Pacific. Notice that word theaters - hearkens back to my seeing the stars as a stage set. With this in mind the drama in the sky we are seeing is about a war and there are different theaters, with Michael waging his legal war for us in Libra, while Jesus standing by the sun, is waging another battle that involves all the other people of the world and Satan's collaboration or influence over them.

This is mainly speculation at this point and I welcome your input. To me it makes sense. Even though we may leave this theater at any moment (maybe mid Dec.) we are still part of the ongoing book that concludes in January. Thoughts?

I am very open to Hannakah as a good possibility. I can't open videos from here on my tablet but will see if I can get to it later. I am getting behind on video viewing I'm afraid. Thanks for commenting, inwakeofrev12

Yes! I would love to hear any new thoughts as well. I stopped reading Bullinger’s book to look at the Pentecost count. Now I need to read SK’s thread... glad we have the Millennium to catch up!

Hi brothers and sisters! Sorry to have been missing in action lately. I felt a need to focus more attention on being quiet before God , "Be still and know that I am God" time. Also I was given a copy of "500 Years" and spent some good time reading this book by Gary and Jeff. Very worthwhile and pointed out some things I never heard before. I sincerely recommend it!

I am glad that some of you are still interested in the star gospels. I will do my best to present thoughts when I feel I have something that might edify you. Here is a little personal story for starters:

A couple of days ago I was walking our dog on our usual trail through the woods. The sky was overcast and dull and threatening rain. The sun was illuminating a small area of the gray. Ordinarily I would have only given it a glance before getting back to my walking. But I found myself very naturally knowing where things were that were invisible. If you were walking with me, or perhaps a young person was tagging along, I could have pointed out where Virgo was right through those trees or where libra was located or where Scorpios was near the foot of Opiuchus. And I could tell you what each of these invisible star figures meant. At that time the dull gray sky with just a hint of where the sun was came alive to me. It practically shouted out the glory and wisdom of God! I realized that I will never see the sky again through my old worldly eyes. They have been opened.

Hanukkah has come and gone and with it the hope our rapture would have happened as well. But I am not depressed or discouraged at all. I am watching the movement of the sun through the first book. I am really looking forward to January 6 when Jupiter and Mars are in conjunction in Libra while at the same time the sun and Venus are together in Sagittarius. Let me finish this post by quoting some thoughts from Bullinger about what this means:


Sagittarius The Redeemer's Triumph

This is the concluding chapter of the first great book of this Heavenly Revelation; and it is occupied wholly with the triumph of the Coming One, who is represented as going forth "conquering and to conquer." The subject is beautifully set forth in the written Word Psalm xlv. 3-5

Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O most mighty,
Gird Thyself with Thy glory and Thy majesty,
And in Thy majesty rise prosperously,
Because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness;
And Thy right hand shall teach terrible things.
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies,
Whereby the people fall under Thee.
