Crucifiction of Jesus and astrology

The Babylonian Zodiac depicts a dragon, Draco constellation, on the throne in the temple of heaven (the center of the northern hemisphere). Jesus however had a different view of the night sky's view at and around 90 degrees North. He saw the Father (Draco is his head, shoulders and right arm) sitting with the Lamb (Ursa Minor) in his lap and the Son of Man (Ursa Major) standing to his right. The cross of the Zodiac goes through Stella Polaris in the constellation Ursa Minor/the Lamb. In other words, the Lamb is thereby seen "crucified" in the heavens.

Job 37:22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty.

Le 1:11 He is to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle its blood against the altar on all sides.

Acts 7:55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 "Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

Religion is a battle of zodiacs.

It's absolutely true that huge amounts of the Bible and other religious texts of the time are filled with astrological references. Prophecies and predictions are loaded with astrology, as are the timing of major events.

In our more enlightened age, and with astrology being seen more these days as a "New Age" interest, most churches tend to downplay the big role astrology played in the lives of the people in that time, and in particular the scholars who were writing the stuff.

Much of Jesus's claim to be the Messiah (Immanuel) rested on his ability to make his story conform to prophesies in earlier texts that were derived from astrology and portents in the sky. The whole "Star of Bethlehem" thing is a blatant attempt to link the birth of Jesus with an astrological event, as was the crucifixion. One is purported to occur near the first day of Winter, the other at Passover, which is roughly associated with the first day of Spring. These are not coincidences, but meant to serve as symbolic reference points that back up the narrative. They're astrological events, formerly utilized for "pagan" harvest and planting celebrations, restructured within Jewish and Christian contexts.



P.S. -- If there's any sort of conspiracy here, it's how the mainstream church has somehow turned around and labeled astrology as a pagan pursuit. What are they trying to hide? Is there an astrological secret in the texts somewhere that would allow a person to pretend to be a Messiah or other figure of power, that could ultimately rob them of theirs. Hmmm...

Indeed. Like in heaven so on earth. that's the idea behind all religion. It started in the stoneage and has developed into this day and become more and more advanced.
