Astrotheology in the Book of Revelations
The books of Nehemiah and Daniel have unveiled that scripture can be narrowly interpreted through an astrotheological lense. If you haven’t read my previous work on astrotheology then first catch up.

By the 2nd century BCE, which is the purported time of the Book of Daniel’s recording, technology had advanced to the point that celestial movements could be mechanically calculated, using the Antikythera mechanism. Although its accuracy is debated, the front plates suggest that the planets were modeled using mathematical cycles accurate to within one degree in 500 years.

A blogger once suggested that Abraham, perhaps, had been born during an extremely rare stellium on the 24th of February, 1953 BCE (-1952).
A stellium is simply a cluster of three (or, if the moon or sun are involved, four) or more planets in a single sign or house.
This stellium has also been linked to the origins of the Chinese calendar. It is possible that such an event when observed carries great meaning. A stellium this rare doesn’t happen often, it was a stellium where all of the 5 visible planets came together within 5 degrees. Wikipedia states 4.3 degrees on February the 27th.

The blog titled “The Astronomy of the Birth of Abraham (1953 B.C.)” states that a similar stellium will happen in 2040. I have confirmed the rarity of these events by a software program called conjunctionFinder. The events are significantly rare to be noteworthy to ancient people, but by no means were they unique.
The following table lists my results for quintuple stelliums for the 5 visible planets within 1 sign (meaning that if there was a stellium on both sides of a cusp then it would be rejected).
N.B. There are only three entries from the 2nd century BCE onward until the near future with an orb less than 10 degrees. The first on the 27th of November 47 BCE (-46) and the 8th of September 2040. Our current calendar is based on the Julian Calendar that started on the 1st of January, 45 BCE (-44) after “The Last Year of Confusion” that lasted for 455 days, from the start of October 47 BCE until the 1st of January, 45 BCE (-44). Something tells me that Julius’ calendar was pre-meditated going back as far as the second century BCE, perhaps Julius was told what to do, it wouldn’t be the first time for a man in his position to have been manipulated, and not the last.

The second on the 16th of September, 1186 CE. Baldwin IV, King of Jerusalem, died in the autumn of 1186. The succession crisis ultimately led to the third crusades.
The final significantly rare stellium is that of the 8th of September, 2040. I will demonstrate how scripture confirms “The Coming of Our Lord”, and that it is confirmed from multiple angles using the prophecies of Daniel. In the end it will all culminate with the sign of the Son of man in heaven.
The birth of Abraham
Details surrounding the birth of Abraham were mentioned in the Book of Jasher 8:1–2
1 And it was in the night that Abram was born, that all the servants of Terah, and all the wise men of Nimrod, and his conjurors came and ate and drank in the house of Terah, and they rejoiced with him on that night.
2 And when all the wise men and conjurors went out from the house of Terah, they lifted up their eyes toward heaven that night to look at the stars, and they saw, and behold one very large star came from the east and ran in the heavens, and he swallowed up the four stars from the four sides of the heavens.
The gathering of all visible planets in the house of Aquarius (father of Saturn) was prominently visible in the morning until the Sun started to rise. At first all the visible planets diminish but not Venus, the bright morning star. Before Venus diminishes it increase, seemingly at the expense of the other 4 planets.
Harpazo “The Gathering”, a.k.a. rapture
Some interesting comments can be found in the Book of Revelation considering the marriage feast of the Lamb’s bride and the times that we can expect.
Revelation 19:7–9
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Revelation 13:7–8
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 19:16–18
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
The Bride of Christ is of course Virgo, to which all the planets including the Moon have gathered.
Three confirmations from Daniel
Daniel confirms the September 2040 event with three prophecies that follow the Day-year principle. The 1260, the 1290 and the 1335 year prophecies.
The 1260 year prophecy occurs seven times in scripture:
· Daniel 7:25, “time, times and a half”.
· Daniel 12:7, “time, times and a half”.
· Revelation 11:2, “42 months”.
· Revelation 11:3, “1260 days”.
· Revelation 12:6, “1260 days”.
· Revelation 12:14, “time, times and a half”.
· Revelation 13:5, “42 months”.

The 1290 and 1335 year prophecies are mentioned in Daniel 12:11–12.
To solve the riddle of the prophecies requires to play around a bit and see if the pieces fit together which is what I have done. The outcome fits in a way that it is so blatantly obvious that the interpretation is correct that it doesn’t need extensive proof. There is a central theme, or narrative that is always upheld.
The new insight lies in the fact that September 2040 is the end of both the 1290 as the 1260 year prophecy, they prophecies do not share the same starting point. They started on the 14th of December 749 and on the 27th of July 779 respectively.
Revelation 12:1–6 actually describes the scenes of both accounts.
The Dragon stood before the woman
Daniel 12:11 reads:
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Revelation 12:1–4 reads:
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
The Dragon, “that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan” (Rev 12:9), can be linked to Ophiuchus a.k.a. Serpentarius, who was modeled after Enki, a Sumerian god. Enki, brother to Enlil was always seeking a higher form of knowledge, a greater sense of adventure, and a bigger environment in which to explore. These same traits are ascribed to Lucifer or Satan, the Devil.
Ophiuchus sits at the cusp between Scorpio and Sagittarius, right at the place were we have a triple conjunction that includes Saturn and Jupiter, which in itself is a Great Conjunction.
The woman, travailing in birth, signifying a new moon, had her son Mars, the Son of Man, in Virgo.
The Child was caught unto God
Daniel 12:12 reads:
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Revelation 12:5–6 reads:
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
The man child, Mars, is to rule with a rod of iron. This means that he rules with the power of God, whose sanctification comes from the Son, Jupiter.
God’s throne is that special place where the galactic equator crosses the ecliptic in the sign of Gemini, just above the constellation Orion.
N.B. The duration d is actually d >1261. The difference was probably due to rounding off the numbers in Daniel, which was based on a 360 day Jewish year multiplied by 3.5. Time, times and half a time; 3.5 x 360 = 1260.
We have seen God’s throne before by approximation when Jesus gave his Sermon on the Mount in 30 CE.
The sign of the Son of man in heaven
Daniel 12:12 reads:
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Matthew 24:30 reads:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The 1335 year prophecy exceeds the 1290 year prophecy by 45 years, and so we can expect power in great glory in 2085.
A solar eclipse will happen exactly at the desired spot, however it will not be visible within the region. The models at the time likely did not factor in such considerations. The third image uses topocentric coordinates, the fourth does not.
N.B. The duration d was indeed 1335 < d < 1336.
Matthew 24:37 reads:
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
This image of God’s throne is echoed by Christ’s sermon and the child being taken up to it. This junction also plays a major part in the Hebrew Flood Myth (2243–2242 BCE). Consistency solidifies the correctness of scripture from a scientific standpoint.
Conclusion
The scope has been further extended into past and future. The birth of Abraham in 1953 BCE can now serve as a proven anchor point. It enables us to chronicle the lives of the Patriarchs in the Book of Genesis and perhaps look further back into the prediluvian world.
In the 2nd century BCE astronomical predictions have been made regarding the future, even our future. On which doctrine was established in the Book of Revelation. Future proofs past. The Bible serves to outline human society as an experiment with regards to God. The results will be in by 2085.
N.B. A solar eclipse near Orion carries some resemblance to the Egyptian “Smiting of the Enemy” stance which is found all over the place. Given that the Hebrews said to have sojourned in Egypt they might have picked up on some things, or perhaps in a bolder statement, they might have seeded some things. In any case both the ancient Hebrews and the ancient Egyptians had a fascination for this posture.
