Keys to understanding the Book of Revelation

Hi HB,thanks for your comments.

I concur....if we take the stories out of the literal into the amazing stories of the natural male and female forces in nature...the positive and negative,the light and dark and the interplay between them. It explains much of the bible and other holy books.

As you say the more you investigate,the more it all fits.

Another example of using the zodiac to interpret scripture would be the sheep and goats allegory.

Capricorn (the goat) is the sign at the winter solstice that kicks off the 3 winter months......darkness and death/desolation.

Whereas the spring equinox is the time of expanding light and life and happiness/work and arrives in the sign of Aries (the ram/lamb/sheep).

The sheep go off into life and the goats....death. (of course they do...its the cycle of the zodiac)

Every zodiac sign is in the bible....from the two fish of Pisces to the water bearer of Aquarius.....the unicorn of Cancer to the horse and rider (Sagittarius) pitched into the sea as the light months take hold and the winter constellations disappear below the horizon.The scales of Libra are there...seen in the writing on the wall of the sky,weighing kings in the balance.Lions of Leo are there,Virgins of Virgo are there,Castor and Pollux (Gemini) are mentioned in the bible along with bulls,rams all telling stories of events that happen in all of the cycles you mention.Scorpions are let loose for 5 months....all because 5 zodiac signs after Scorpio,bring you to the spring equinox...the end of darkness and the return of the light of the world as he reigns once again....all hail Jesus Christ....the sun,light of this world and conqueror of the dark forces of winter and night.....and conqueror of the dark forces inside of us...bringing us out of polarity and extremism....into unity/balance and the single eye....the Christ/truth/light frees us from the winter/darkness of ignorance....we all had that accepting Christ moment when we were faced with uncomfortable truths that destroyed our beliefs....yet when we did accept that Christ/truth into our lives...it raised us up from our blindness....just as Jesus did to the blind before.

We now look back and wonder to ourselves...."How did we ever believe all of that nonsense"...... as we see the darkness in the watchtower even clearer.

Thomas Paine said this:

"The christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the Sun."

If you take that on board that Jesus is the sun/principle of light.....Jesus does die on a cross...the cross made by the two equinoxes and two solstices.

If you plot the equinoxes and solstices on the circle of the year,you get this.

Jesus and the cross he dies on....he gave his life/light/rays for us and asked nothing in return.

Jesus (the sun) really is the light of this world.....Jesus is our risen saviour...the sun rises every day for us.

Jesus the sun does turn water into wine during the grape growing season....he multiplies the grain and life on earth during the spring/summer months......but at the scales of Libra....the scales of justice (the autumnal equinox)....the sun is on the wane and is about to be judged.....the darkness now has the upper hand....the only way for sunny boy the saviour is down...down to the winter solstice where the old jesus dies....the new jesus born 3 days later.....goes into exile until the spring equinox where he is in his prime...at primus (spring equinox) he overcomes the darkness and sets off on his journey through Galilee (which means circuit...the circuit/cycle of the year). Rinse and repeat.

It is the greatest story ever told......and it happens every day....every year.....and every great year....it is the story of natures cycles in amazing story form.

In the cycle....the new light/newborn jesus is always born at the darkest time.

In the cycle of the day.....the new day starts at midnight.....the new year starts at the winter solstice.....darkness always births the light.

Could it be the end of an old cycle and beginning of a new cycle being expounded in astrological language?

The zodiac signs for the autumn are (starting from the autumnal equinox) Libra the scales,Scorpio ruled by Mars/Ares (the god of war,symbolized by the sword) and Sagittarius the horse/man and his bow....one of the horsemen carries a set of scales,one carries a sword and one is a man on a horse with a bow......these three signs lead up to the winter solstice....the depth of darkness/winter/death (the horseman who was following them).

Three days after the winter solstice on December 22nd (the midnight of the year) starts the new cycle of the next year.....the new child that is born.....Jesus at Christmas.

A lot of celebrations happen on solstices and equinoxes.

Panpsychism - a philosophy with a future

by slimboyfat in

at one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.

this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.

what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).

Of course the rocks "speak"

Can some one please explain Deuteronomy 23:12-13

by Jayk in

at a bible study when i was younger i read this scripture out loud and totally did with a straight face realising what they were talking about halfway through it.

i think i start reading in verse 12 "when evening falls, he should wash with water, and then he may return to the camp at sunset.+ 12 a private place* should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.

13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

Return of the Dub (plus surprise guest)

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

return of the dub (plus surprise guest)dealing with just one frisky, bright-eyed jehovah’s witness is a handful.one on one is manageable.

two jw’s is more like juggling chainsaws or french kissing alligators.i had a return visit the other day and now, the jw was returning the 2nd time, but with another dub.what would my strategy be?

that’s how the day was spent.
