The Equinoctial Points - Stars and The End Times

 

The twelve groups of stars (constellations) within the boundaries of the twelve signs originally had the same names as the signs, and each constellation would remain forever within the corresponding sign if the Vernal Equinox did not move among the stars.

 

This movement or "Precession" of the equinoxes carries the signs of the Zodiac westward around the ecliptic with a constant speed that causes them to make a complete circuit of the sky in approximately 25,800 years.

 

Thus the constellations of the Zodiac remain fixed but the signs steadily slip westward.

 

The sign of Aries, for the last 2000 years, has been in the Sign to the west.

 

The signs and constellations of the Zodiac coincided about 300 B.C. and also about 26,000 B.C.

 

The Greek writer, Hesoid, says that Arcturus, rises at sunset fifty days after the Winter Solstice. In our calendar this date would be February 19. This bright star now rises at sunset (in Greece) on March 30.

 

From the known rate of the shift of the constellations of the Zodiac we can determine that Hesoid lived about 2800 years ago.

We learn from the early writings of the Persians and the Chinese that there were four bright stars in the sky that protected and watched over the others.

 

These stars were said to be in the east, the west, the north and the south. These positions evidently corresponded to the Vernal Equinox, the Autumnal Equinox, the Winter Solstice and the Summer Soltice - the four cardinal points of the sky.

 

If we look in the vicinity of these points we can find no stars of any considerable brightness and we might be inclined to doubt the accuracy of this ancient literature or to wonder whether the four bright stars have faded considerably during the intervening years.

 

However, when we consider the westward precession of the equinoxes, the four cardinal points would not have the same location with reference to the stars as they had ages ago, for the constellations of the Zodiac are continually slipping in an easterly direction with reference to the Vernal Equinox. We study the Zodiac as the Persians saw it.

 

 

 

Hebrew 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

 

No more reference now to His first coming in humiliation. No more coming "forth" to suffer and die, a sacrifice for sins; the reference now is only to His second coming in glory.

 

• Exactly 2520 years from the exile of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.

 

•  The first tribe to be conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh, in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.

(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.

He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them among the heathens (like lost sheep)
