which subscribe to these general characteristics.

The question remains - why these attributes?

Why the virgin birth on December 25th?

Why death for three days and inevitable resurrection?

Why 12 disciples or followers?

To find out, let's examine the most recent

of the solar messiahs.

Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary

on December 25th in Bethlehem.

His birth was announced by a star in the east

which three kings were managed to follow

to locate and adorn a new saviour.

He was a child teacher at 12 and at the age of 30

he was baptized by John the Baptist.

And thus began his ministry.

Jesus had 12 disciples which he travelled about with,

performing miracles such as healing the sick,

walking on water, raising the dead

He was also known as "The King of Kings", "The Son of God",

"The Light of the world", "The Alpha and Omega",

"The Lamb of God" and many many others.

After being betrayed by his disciple Judas

and sold for 30 pieces of silver

he was crucified, placed in a tomb

and after three days he was resurrected

and ascended into heaven.

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 three brightest stars in Orion's belt.

These three bright stars in the Orion's belt

are called today what they were called in ancient times -

the Three Kings.

And the Three Kings

and the brightest star - Sirius

all point at 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 glyphe for Virgo is the altered M.

This is why Mary along with other virgin mothers,

such as Adonis's mother Myrra

or Budha's mother Maya begin with an M.

Virgo was 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

represents 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's 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.

and from the perspective of the northern hemisphere,

the Sun appears to move south

and gets smaller and more scarce.

The shortening of the days and expiration of the crops

when approaching the winter solstice

symbolized the process of death to the ancients.

It was the death of the Sun.

And by December 22nd

the Sun's demise was fully realized.

For the Sun having moved south

continually for six months

makes it to its lowest point in the sky.

Here a curious thing occurs:

the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably,

for three days.

And during this three 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 one degree, this time north

foreshadowing longer days, warmth and spring.

And thus it was said:

the Son died in a cross was dead for three days

only to be resurrected or born again.

This is why Jesus and numerous other Sun gods

share the crucifixion, three 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 the night

and the revitalizing conditions of spring emerge.

Now, probably the most obvious

of all the astrological symbolism around Jesus

regards the 12 disciples.

They are simply the 12 constellations of the zodiac

which Jesus, being the Sun,

travels about with.

In fact, the number 12

is replete throughout the Bible.

This text has more to do with astrology

than anything else.

Coming back to the cross of the zodic,

the figurative life of the Sun,

this was not just an artistic expression

or tool to track the Sun's movement.

It was also a pagan spiritual symbol.

the shorthand of which looked like this.

This is not a symbol of Christianity.

It is a pagan adaptation of the cross of the zodiac.

This is why Jesus in earlier cult art

is always shown with his head on the cross.

For Jesus is the Sun.

The Son of God,

the light of the world,

the risen saviour

who will come again

as it does every morning

with the glory of God

who defends against the works of darkness,

as he is born again every morning

and can be seen coming in the clouds,

up in heaven with his crown of thorns

or sun rays.

Now, of the many astrological/astronomical

metaphors in the Bible

one of the most important

has to do with the ages.

Throughout the scriptures

there are numerous references to the age.

In order to understand this,

we need to be familiar with the phenomenon

known as the precession of the equinoxes.

The ancient Egyptians,

along with cultures long before them

recognized that approximately every 2150 years

the sunrise of the morning of the spring equinox

would occur at a different sign of the zodiac.

This has to do with the slow angular wobble

that the Earth maintains as it rotates on its axes.

It is called a "precession" because

the constellations go backwards

rather than through the normal yearly cycle.

The amount of time it takes for the precession to go

through all 12 signs is roughly 25.765 years.

This is also called the great year

and ancient societies were very aware of this

and they referred to each 2150 year period as an age.

From 4300 BC to 2150 BC

it was the age of Taurus - the Bull.

From 2150 BC to 1 AD

it was the age of Aries - the Ram.

And from 1 AD to 2150 AD it is the age of Pisces,

the age we are still in to this day.

And in and around 2150 we will enter the new age,

the age of Aquarius.

Now, the Bible reflects broadly speaking

a symbolic movement through three ages

while foreshadowing a forth.

In the Old Testament when Moses comes down

Mount Sinai with the ten commandments

he is very upset to see his people

worshipping a golden bull calf.

In fact, he shattered the stone tablets

and instructed his people to kill each other

in order to purify themselves.

Most biblical scholars will tribute this anger

to the fact that the Israelites were worshipping

a false idol or something of that effect.

The reality is,

the golden bull is Taurus the Bull

And Moses represents the new age

of Aries the Ram.

This is why Jews even today

still blow the ram's horne.

Moses represents the new age of Aries,
