Zeitgeist: The Movie Page #2

The fact of the matter is there are numerous saviors, from different periods,

from all over the world, which subscribe to these general characteristics.

The question remains: why these attributes, why the virgin birth on December 25th,

why dead for three days and the 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 or magi followed to locate and adorn the new savior.

He was a child teacher at 12, at the age of 30 he was baptized by John the Baptist,

and thus began his ministry.

Jesus had 12 disciples which he traveled 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 others.

After being betrayed by his disciple Judas and sold for 30 pieces of silver, he was crucified,

placed in a tomb and after 3 days 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 24,

aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt.

These 3 bright stars are called today what they were called in ancient times: The Three Kings.

The Three Kings and the brightest star, Sirius,

all point to 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 glyph for Virgo is the altered "m".

This is why Mary along with other virgin mothers,

such as Adonis's mother Myrra, or Buddha's mother Maya begin with an M.

Virgo is 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 is 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.

From the perspective of the northern hemisphere,

the sun appears to move south and get smaller and more scarce.

The shortening of the days and the expiration

of the crops when approaching the winter solstice symbolized the process of death to the ancients.

It was the death of the Sun.

By December 22nd, the Sun's demise was fully realized,

for the Sun, having moved south continually for 6 months,

makes it to it's lowest point in the sky.

Here a curious thing occurs: the Sun stops moving south, at least perceivably, for 3 days.

During this 3 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 1 degree, this time north, foreshadowing longer days, warmth, and Spring.

And thus it was said: the Sun died on the cross,

was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected or born again.

This is why Jesus and numerous other Sun Gods

share the crucifixion, 3-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 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 Zodiac,

the figurative life of the Sun,

this was not just an artistic expression or tool to track the Sun's movements.

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 early occult art is always shown with his head on the cross,

for Jesus is the Sun, the Sun of God, the Light of the World, the Risen Savior,

who will "come again," as it does every morning,

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 scripture 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 on the morning

of the spring equinox would occur at a different sign of the Zodiac.

This has to do with a slow angular wobble that the Earth maintains as it rotates on it's axis.

It is called a precession because the constellations go backwards,

rather than through the normal yearly cycle.

The amount of time that 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.

They referred to each 2150 year period as an "age."

From 4300 B.C. to 2150 B.C., it was the Age of Taurus, the Bull.

From 2150 B.B. to 1 A.D., it was the Age of Aries, the Ram

and from 1 A.D. to 2150 A.D. 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 3 ages,

while foreshadowing a 4th.

In the Old Testament when Moses comes down Mount Sinai with the 10 Commandments,

he is very upset to see his people worshiping 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 would attribute this anger

to the fact that the Israelites were worshiping a false idol, or something to that effect.

The reality is that 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 horn.
