Celestial Fulfillment of Revelation 12:1 and 2


Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. ~Revelation 12:1–2

Revelation 12 is a puzzle to Bible prophecy students. It appears to have already been fulfilled, yet it also portends a future fulfillment. The solution to this apparent paradox is that both past and future fulfillments are true—as is often the case with other prophetic Scriptures. It was fulfilled (on September 11, 3 bc) and will be fulfilled (on September 23, 2017). The purpose of this post is to discuss this second fulfillment on September 23, 2017.

If you are a student of Bible prophecy, pay attention. This is a major marker in the book of Revelation for end-time events and potentially of the gathering of the bride of Christ unto the coming bridegroom.

September 23, 2017, which is Rosh Hashanah, has all the appearances of fulfilling Revelation 12:1–2. (Note: the Jewish standard lists Rosh Hashanah 2017 as being sundown on September 20–sundown September 22; however, the celestial standard begins Rosh Hashanah 2017 with sundown on September 22 when the moon is under Virgo’s feet. In Jewish reckoning, sundown is the start of a new day, so sundown on September 22 would be considered the beginning of September 23rd.) In addition, October 5, which is the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles, appears to fulfill Revelation 12:3–4. These dates of the 2017 Jewish New Year and fall feasts bear the signs of a major occurrence according to both biblical and celestial reckoning. As far as we know, the planet and star alignments found on September 23, 2017 that line up with Revelation 12:1–2 have never before happened in history, nor will they happen again.

Some of the major points that should cause us to take notice of this time are as follows.

·      It is the new moon.
·         September 23, 2017 is the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Shoshana).
·         October 5, 2017 is the Feast of Tabernacles.
·         It could be the culmination of the year of Jubilees.
·       Mercury, Venus, and Mars will be over Virgo’s head, accompanying the nine major stars of Leo, forming the headdress, or crown, of the bride of Christ.
·        Jupiter will be in Virgo, having just retrograded in the womb area, making its descent down the birth canal. This is perhaps one of the most amazing fulfillments of prophecy by Jupiter, the King planet, and it could be the sign that Jupiter (Hebrew name: Tsedeq), is indeed “His Star” that the wise men followed at Messiah’s first coming.

On September 23 of 2017 (September 22, 5:36 pm, Jerusalem time), the sun will be in Virgo, clothing the woman, and the (new) moon will be under her feet, just as Revelation 12:1 prophesies. Just over Virgo’s head will be Mercury, Venus, and Mars along with the 9 major stars of Leo to produce the garland of 12 stars. In addition, Jupiter is in Virgo’s mid-section (the birth canal), depicting an approaching birth—perhaps the Kingdom of Heaven. The following screenshot from the Stellarium astronomy computer program illustrates this.



I have long suspected from reliable evidence that Jupiter is His Star of Matthew 2:2 and that the Magi (the wise men) followed it when it announced Messiah’s first coming. Jupiter’s Hebrew name is Tsedeq, which means the King of Righteousness. When Yeshua of Nazareth was born on September 11, 3 bc, Jupiter/Tsedeq was retrograding and in triple conjunction with the king star, Regulus (located in the constellation Leo). From our perspective on Earth, it appeared to draw a circle around Regulus. In September 2017, Jupiter/Tsedeq will retrograde in Virgo and be in double conjunction with Spica, the star of the righteous offspring, appearing to draw a circle around it.

This retrograde of Jupiter/Tsedeq and Messiah’s coming in glory in Virgo’s womb should echo in the valleys as we shout it from the mountain tops. The following screenshot from Stellarium depicts this Jupiter/Tsedeq retrograde just before the Feast of Trumpets 2017.




                    
This event is every bit as powerful and prophetic as the announcement of Messiah’s first coming. At Messiah’s first coming, Jupiter/Tsedeq, the King planet/His Star, retrograded and appeared to draw a circle around the king star, Regulus, in Leo. In September 2017, Jupiter/Tsedeq will retrograde and appear to draw a circle around Spica, the righteous branch or offspring, which is in Virgo. Regulus and Spica are both the primary stars of Leo and Virgo, respectively. These two constellations are pivotal in Messiah’s story line—Virgo shows His birth and Leo shows His reign—in both comings. That these retrogrades happen around their primary stars is more than quite significant.

The fact that Jupiter is located in Virgo’s birth canal at this time is huge. This could be the announcement of the gathering of the Church or more likely the catching away of the bride of Christ. Remember that the text of Revelation 12:1–2 mentions the crown of stars. Crowns are biblically used to represent rewards, so the garland of light that will adorn Virgo may be a depiction of the bride’s rewards. Virgo is the woman of the heavens; it can represent the bride of Christ.

In addition, the arrangement of the three primary planets above Virgo’s head resembles a bridal headdress. Astronomers sometimes call arrangements like this a string of pearls. These three planets are in direct line with Regulus the king star; and they form a link between Leo and Virgo, the beginning and end constellations, in a rare display. Wow!

Three points of reference are necessary to accurately pinpoint one’s location. If we apply this same principle to accurately decipher these signs, our three points of reference would be the following.

1. The written Scripture
2. The progress of prophecy
3. The forecasted celestial arrangements of September 23–October 5, 2017 (according to the Stellarium computer program)

The Jubilee Year

In addition to the three references just mentioned, we also should consider that Rosh Hashanah 2017 is quite likely the closing of a Jubilee year (if we count the Jubilees of recent Israel from 1916/17 to 1966/1967). If the Jewish year count of 5777 includes the 243 years left out due to intentional text manipulation in the Masoretic text, then we are potentially in the year 6020. Give or take the 20 years, we are at the threshold of the 120th Jubilee of mankind. Some believe that Genesis 6:3 provides the accumulative number of Jubilee years until the end. A Jubilee Year is 50 years long, and Genesis 6:3 states that man’s days will be 120 years; thus, 50 X 120 = 6,000 years.

And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” ~Genesis 6:3

This would also be the fulfillment of Judah ben Samuel’s prophecy of this Jubilee being the time of Messiah’s coming. Judah ben Samuel was the German Jewish Rabbi that lived in the mid-1100s and prophesied of the 400 years of domination over Israel, the restoration of the land and nation, and the coming of Messiah according to the Jubilee year count.

It appears that we are truly living during a period of likely biblical end-time happenings. Whether it’s the gathering of the bride of Christ or the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, the fall feasts days of 2017 will be prophetically fulfilling. (This could also include the fulfillment of the prophecy concerning Wormwood in Revelation 8:11.)

Note: My book, The 1,000 Year Reign of Jesus Christ on the Earth, would be relevant right now and can be ordered online from the e-store at LMCI.org.

David Meade’s book, Planet X—2017 Arrival, brought these celestial happenings of September 23, 2017 to my attention, although it does not cover the fulfillment of the Jubilee or retrogrades or interpretation of the planets. He did however, mention one of my hallmark references on this time period regarding the prophecy of Wormwood. I figure if a mountain (asteroid) falls to the earth and kills at least a third of the people, then even I could figure out that the end times had come. David Meade came to the same conclusion I had already come to—Wormwood is on the way and could possibly manifest during this same time period too.

Empirical evidence is telling us that something out of this world is shaking our world. The apocryphal book of 1 Enoch 1:6 prophesies that every mountain and island will be moved out of their place during this time. That is before the prophecy that the Lord will come with ten thousands of his saints in 1 Enoch 1:9. These events happen around what many Christians refer to as the mid-tribulation. Let’s hope and pray that Messiah’s called-out ones will get taken off the planet and escape Wormwood.

Look for a future blog where I will discuss more about Wormwood, Planet X, and Revelation 12:3–4.

It will be a day I'm looking forward to!!!

    Ar Clark. A fan!!!

  2. I have been looking at this prophecy for a while too, one thing to notice is that jupiter enters this November 2016 into Jupiter!!!
    And stays there for full term.
    It is the wonder that now there are 12 stars instead of the nine... Much like the 12 tribes could now all be accounted for in Messiah!!
    Jupiter goes jnto the Virgo constellation every 7.83 yrs I believe, but the 12 stars are key.. It will never happen again.
    A wonder to watch for sure.
    If it is a jubillee yr, then at the end of the yr before (2016 end)is typically in for quite a ride. This wont be Our January, but a Hebrew end of the yr.

  3. Oops jupiter enters Virgo in November 2016..

  4. Norton's Star Atlas indicates a constant crown on Virgo's head which doesnt require the fabrication of the imaginative crown comprised by most of Leo and three planets. I find that manipulative...and the Norton crown is much more attractive...

  5. The sign that will appear in the sky on September 23, 2017 is NOT the GREAT SIGN of Revelation Chapter 12:1.

    The content of the video "Apocalypse 12 and 13 REVEALS in the Stars" 1080p (Turn on English Subtitles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhcoap_H9mQ&feature=youtu.be is really extraordinary, wonderful and surprising, because reveals how the angel sent by God to his servant John was based on the constellations to show us a summary of the War between Good and Evil.
    Now we know that this story was captured first in the stars!! And afterwards "in an illustrated book" too: Rev. 12 and Rev. 13.

    Although Rev. 12 may seem to the Christians of today a lesson in history, it was not for the early Church of almost 2000 years ago, which suffered severe persecution on the part of Rome after the death of Yahshua. Nor was it for those who suffered and were killed during the papal Inquisition.

    Let us begin...

    With the video we can see that the tail of the Serpent (Serpens Cauda) is in a large group of stars in the Milky Way and this group of stars REPRESENTS the abyss. We also see that the Sagittarian Constellation SYMBOLIZES a king who is about to ascend from the abyss, according to Rev. 11:7 and 17:8; His name in Hebrew is Abaddon and, in Greek, Apollion, according to Rev. 9:11. And this king refers to John Paul II (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Eb0nMC3LY).

    1. But the most important thing about this video is that the 12-star crown is made up of 2 (two) constellations: that of Coma Berenice (of Berenice's queen) which has 3 (three) stars and that of Leon (Israel's crown, The Tribe of Judah), which has 9 stars. Nothing says of the planet Jupiter inside the belly of the constellation Virgo. Nothing is said of the three planets, Mercury, Mars and Venus. Why? Because in both Rev. Chapter 12 and in Rev. Chapter 13 the apostle John saw images based only on CONSTELLATIONS! HE DIDN'T SEE ANY IMAGES based on PLANETS. This means that Rev. 12:5 has no relation to the planet Jupiter but to the constellation of Libra (the Scale means Justice and Judge) as is revealed in the recommended video.

      So WHAT does the planet Jupiter that's circulating so much on the net TRULY represent? SATAN is behind this.

      Let's keep going...

      Once a year the sun lights up (dresses) the constellation Virgo. And every 12 years Jupiter passes through Virgo and every 83 years this planet makes a retrograde movement within the Virgo Constellation. And in all the months of September or October, it is common for the sun to appear in Virgo with the moon at its feet.
      What does this mean? THAT THE ONLY STRANGE next September 21, Feast of Trumpets, IS THE ALMOST PERFECT ALIGNMENT OF THE PLANETS VENUS, MARS AND MERCURY while the PLANET JUPITER leaves the womb of Virgo. It is a novel fact, never before recorded in all of history. But it turns out that Rev. 12 does not speak of any planet, nor of a planetary alignment. And curiously all this takes place during the hundredth anniversary of the apparitions of the "Woman in the Sun", the virgin of Fatima who "appeared" in the sky in 1917. Satan is plotting for this year, because this phenomenon of four (4) planets does not appear in Rev. 12.

      Also with Google Sky there are those who speculate, using infrared, that NASA is hiding something in space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcNQRy79IrY&vl=en. Many believe that after September 23, the Comet 67P or the planet X - Nibiru will appear under the feet of Virgo as the great red "dragon" of Revelations 12. However, we already learned in the video mentioned at the beginning that God configured The dragon of Rev 12:3 around the Constellation Draco + Constellation Serpens Caput (head of the serpent and its 10 horns) + Constellation Corona Borealis (Crown of the North, with 7 heads and 7 crowns) + Serpens Constellation Tail (Snake Tail) to describe in a perfect way the scarlet dragon of Rev. 12:3: "And there appeared another sign in heaven: behold a great scarlet dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems;"

    2. Something more to reveal ...

      I was researching about the constellation "Coma Berenices" and I found that means "Berenice hair or Berenice hair". It is located west of the constellation Leo and near the head of the constellation Virgo.
      The star "Diadem" is the second brightest star in the constellation "Coma Berenices" and presumes to be the jewel in the crown of Queen Berenice. This is derived from the Greek διάδημα (dídēma) which can be translated as "band" or "fillet".
      The constellation Coma Berenices, interestingly, was not established as a constellation until the sixteenth century.
      At the time of the apostle John, Coma Bernenices was considered as part of the constellation Leo.
      The Greek astronomer Ptolemy considered Coma Berenices as an asterism in the constellation of Leo. It represented the plume at the end of the tail of the lion, and it was not until the sixteenth century that Berenice's hair was promoted to a constellation in its own right.

      Asterism is a set of stars that seen from Earth appear to have a special arrangement or alignment in geometric form that are easily rememberable when evoking figures.

      And finally ...

      Let's not expect another dragon for after 9/23/2017, because If it appears another dragon in the sky would be by Satan to attempt against the Holy Scriptures and deceive many.

      The apostle John saw a GREAT red dragon (as detailed in the video above) after seeing a woman dressed in the sun with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. But WE can see the two signs, Revelation 12:1 and Rev. 12:3 using current technology for several months before September 23, 2017 thanks to the video I quoted at the beginning or using the Stellarium program (http://stellarium.org/). With this free open source planetary program for computers we can see a realistic 3D sky.

      Conclusion:

      The sign that will appear in the sky on September 23, 2017 is NOT the GREAT SIGN of Rev. 12:1 because no PLANETS appear in Rev. 12, nor in Rev. 13.
      Satan has CHANGED the constellation of Coma Berenice (of Queen Berenice) which has 3 stars for 3 (three) planets: Mars, Mercury and Venus. So why this CHANGE? So that we will ALSO accept the planet Jupiter as a symbol of the Messiah that is to come. But who is that Messiah? ...

      The TRUTH is that the two astronomical SIGNS of Revelations Chapter 12 are part of a MEGA IMAGE that covers the most relevant events of all history from Genesis to Revelation, as I said at the beginning of this message: That message was first embodied in the stars!! And afterwards "in an illustrated book": Rev. Chapters 12 and 13.

      Satan can soon use the event of September 23 next to deceive many. He knows how to twist the Holy Scriptures in the eyes of the world. That's why we say "CAUTION!" because the resurrection of John Paul II is at the gates!!..

  7. Hey Doc. Did you notice that "the bright and morning star" Venus (signifying the son of man) was in the belly of the fish (Pisces) during "unleavened bread" this year? Is this the declaration of "the acceptable year of the Lord" spoken by Jesus Christ?
