Apocalipsis 17
1. Vino entonces uno de los siete ángeles que tenían las siete copas, y habló conmigo diciéndome: Ven acá, y te mostraré la sentencia contra la gran ramera, la que está sentada sobre muchas aguas;
2. con la cual han fornicado los reyes de la tierra, y los moradores de la tierra se han embriagado con el vino de su fornicación. (Fijense la ironia de apocalipsis con referencia a la sangre de Cristo, osea el linaje)

EL MUNDO ESTA CIEGO, PORQUE DETRAS DE SU IDOLO MUNDIAL, QUE ES EL DINERO, ESTA EL CODIGO.)
4. Y la mujer estaba vestida de púrpura y escarlata, y adornada de oro de piedras preciosas y de perlas, y tenía en la mano un cáliz de oro lleno de abominaciones y de la inmundicia de su fornicación; (LA MUJER BABILONIA ES HIPOCRITA.

CATOLICO/CAT-OLICO/CAT-EDRAL/CAT/GATO-EL OJO DEL GATO TIENE LA MISMA FORMA QUE LA DEL SEXO FEMENINO "VESCICA PISCIS"
Es una simbología relacionada en parte con España. Según la mitología griega, Hércules en su viaje a la Península Ibérica se atrevió a robar la fruta sagrada que cuidaban las Hespérides, hijas de Atlas, fundador de la Atlántida, cumpliendo así la profecía sobre el fin de ese reino de titanes, como estaba anunciado. Este relieve del Museo de Olimpia muestra maravillosamente este episodio. Hércules sujeta el cosmos ayudado por la diosa Atenea, que le pone un almohadón en la espalda, mientras el mismo Átlas le trae las frutas de las Hespérides. Es una versión muy peculiar del mito, pues Átlas coopera en su propia destrucción, y sitúa en España, Hesperia, ese jardín prohibido.
Durante cincuenta años de su vida, el profesor Schulten efectuó investigaciones históricas y arqueológicas en la Península Ibérica en búsqueda de la Atlántida, y los últimos hallazgos parecen apoyar su hipótesis de que el reino andaluz de Tartessos, desaparecido en el siglo VI antes de Cristo, coincidía con la descripción que nos dejó Platón en el Timeo:
“(…) Sabios reyes habían formado en esta Atlántida una vasta y maravillosa potencia que dominaba toda aquella tierra además de otras muchas islas, y algunas comarcas del continente, apoderándose de todas, desde Libia al Egipto, y de Europa hasta Tirrenia (…) Empero sobrevinieron diluvios y terremotos, y en un solo día y en una sola noche fatal, todos aquellos guerreros fueron tragados por la tierra abierta. Desapareció la Atlántida y he aquí por qué aun hoy no se puede recorrer y explorar aquel mar, encontrando la navegación un escollo en el fangoso lodo que dejó la tierra al abismarse”.
La correlación del Toro y la diosa, incluyendo la sangre del Toro siendo entregada a la Luna para la fructificación, también puede ser explicada a través de la coexistencia de su objetivo del procreativo. Cuando la cabeza del Toro es vista desde una perceptiva frontal, su cráneo y cuernos exhiben un asombroso parecido a los órganos uterinos de la hembra humana.
La vesica piscis (vejiga de pez en latín) es un símbolo hecho con dos círculos del mismo radio que se intersecan de manera que el centro de cada círculo está en la circunferencia del otro. Esta forma se denomina también mandorla (que significa "almendra" en italiano).
3:14 Y escribe al ángel de la iglesia en Laodicea: He aquí el Amén, el testigo fiel y verdadero, el principio de la creación de Dios, dice esto: (Numero PI=3.14. La iglesia de LA-ODICEA era una de las 7 IGLESIAS/PLEYADES ubicadas en ASIA MENOR/ANATOLIA/MONTE DE ARARAT. LAS 7 IGLESIAS TIENEN UN FUERTE NEXO CON EL ARCA DE NOE. LA GRAN PIRAMIDE ESTA DISEÑADA EN FUNCION AL MONTE DE ARARAT. Incluso observen tambien que LA-ODICEA comienza con la L/ESCUADRA Y A/COMPAS. Osea que en su mismo nombre esta CODIFICADA LA ALQUIMIA, osea la cuadratura de un circulo o cubicacion de una esfera que es la escalera de JACOB. CASA DE DIOS Y PUERTA DEL CIELO. LA GRAN PIRAMIDE, INCREIBLEMENTE, TIENE UN ORIGEN CIEN POR CIENTO CRISTIANO.)
7:21 Estas columnas erigió en el pórtico del templo; y cuando hubo alzado la columna del lado derecho, le puso por nombre Jaquín, y alzando la columna del lado izquierdo, llamó su nombre Boaz. 7:22 (NUMERO PI)Y puso en las cabezas de las columnas tallado en forma de lirios, y así se acabó la obra de las columnas.
7:23 Hizo fundir asimismo un mar de diez codos de un lado al otro, perfectamente redondo; su altura era de cinco codos, y lo ceñía alrededor un cordón de treinta codos.
7:24 Y rodeaban aquel mar por debajo de su borde alrededor unas bolas como calabazas, diez en cada codo, que ceñían el mar alrededor en dos filas, las cuales habían sido fundidas cuando el mar fue fundido. 7:25 Y descansaba sobre doce bueyes; tres miraban al norte, tres miraban al occidente, tres miraban al sur, y tres miraban al oriente; sobre estos se apoyaba el mar, y las ancas de ellos estaban hacia la parte de adentro. 7:26 El grueso del mar era de un palmo menor, y el borde era labrado como el borde de un cáliz o de flor de lis; y cabían en él dos mil batos.

No se que entiendo la relacion 4/3, con que arco ? con que fin dicha relacion ? La relacion de la vesica piscis es 256/153, lo mismo el rombo que esta comprendido en ella.
Aunque esta todo conectado, vamos a no mezclar la actividad gaseosa en el centro de la galaxia con el movimiento del hipercubo sobre su eje en espiral que es lo que en definitiva forma la vesica piscis en la forma del Toro geometrico de la galaxia, no el Universo.
Todo esto ya lo explique varias veces desde diferentes angulos, te recomiendo revises mis posts anteriores, si es a lo que se referian lo Mayas, seguramente. La relacion del Toro al hipercubo es la misma que la del circulo al cuadrado y la vesica piscis al rombo, digamos que a traves del cubismo es mas facil interpretar la realidad pero el Toro es la verdadera forma geometrica de la galaxia, tiene 4 dimensiones por lo tanto su forma varia en el tiempo, si la vesica piscis se forma al finalizar un ciclo de tiempo, cuando el espiral o la serpiente se come la cola, para dar comienzo a otro a traves de la regeneracion explosiva en el centro de la galaxia la cual invierte los cubos dando lugar a un nuevo ciclo de tiempo.
El pan de cristo, la levadura y la fermentacion, el murecillo, el roscon, etc, todo fue explicado, no quiero repetir siempre lo mismo. Los tioles mercaptores, codigo del mercurio, y los enlaces S-S, gases combustibles en el centro de la galaxia que se activaran el fuego cosmico al chocar los cubos del hipercubo en el 9-6 del rombo dodecahedro. Torus es la definicion del Toro en Ingles, seguramente se inspiraron en Horus, el Cristo Egipcio, pero la clave del nombre es el toro Egipcio Apis - Venus en los cuernos del Tauro, o sea Isis.
En geometría, un toro es una superficie de revolución generada por una circunferencia que gira alrededor de una recta exterior coplanaria (en su plano y que no la corta). La palabra «toro» proviene del vocablo en latín torus, el cual en castellano significa «bocel» o «murecillo», que es una moldura redondeada de la basa, con forma de hogaza de pan.1 2
Si hacemos un corte longitudonal de Toro obtenemos la Vesica Piscis, como siempre los nombres no son elegidos por que si, Benicio del Toro, etc.

En cuanto a los cubos de los hipercubos, al juntarse el 9 y el 6 claramente chocan los ejes de los hipercubos, esto en definitiva es lo que produce el fuego y energia para el nuevo ciclo, puedes apreciar como en la forma octogonal el 6 y el 9 rotan sin problemas formando la estrella de 8 puntas, en el octogono mantienen la maxima distancia durante el ciclo, la llamada era dorada que viene despues del cataclismo, codigo de las manzanas doradas en el jardin de las hermanas Hesperides.

La nebulosa del ojo del gato es un sistema trinario parecido pero con una estrella en el medio, se puede apreciar que dentro de la vesica piscis hay una estrella, otras 2 la orbitan, de allí parte la singularidad, el codigo Mon de la Moon en Ingles Luna, codigo Da Vincia de la Mona Lisa, etc. De alli como fractales nuestros siete dias, que son las siete vidas del gato, etc.

Akrabbim is the word for scorpion, so it is literally the "ascent of scorpions".
It was north of but near Petra (Sela) being a southern marker for the boundaries of the Amorites: Judges 1:36
It was a reference used to determine the southern border of Israel and was just north of Kadesh Barnea (Near Petra): Numbers 34:4; Joshua 15:3
We feel the best candidate for the Ascent of Akrabbim is indicated by the blue #1 on the map below that starts at the dead sea and travels east from modern "Feifa" to "At Tafilah" in Jordan. Our close second choice, is blue #2 on the map below that starts from the Arabah valley and goes up the ravine to Dana, Jordan.
Traditionally, ascent of Akrabbim, has always been looked for on the western edge of the Arabah valley, but we feel this is wrong and that an easterly ascending path towards modern Jordan is the best choice. There are two reasons for this choice. First, the Bible says that the Ascent of Akrabbim is north of, but not part of the wilderness of Zin. Joshua 15:3 (Kadesh Barnea was in the wilderness of Zin). Second, Judges 1:36 defines the territory of the Amorites during the period of the judges at about 1200BC to be upward from both the ascent of Akrabbim and Petra. We know that the Amorites were transjordan at this time. It makes better sense to use and easterly ascending path into the territory of the Amorites, rather than the traditional westerly route that ascends into the actual territory occupied by Judah at that time. Of the two candidate "easterly ascending: routes, only the northern one (blue #4 on map) fits all the Bible data perfectly.
A major discovery was made by looking at a single Bible verse: Judges 1:36. We can determine that the ascent of Akrabbim was on the east side of the Arabah valley because of Judges 1:36: "The border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela [Petra] and upward." While some may argue that Sela does not refer to Petra, although we know it does, everyone agrees the territory of the Amorites is transjordan. So if the ascent of Akrabbim is being used as a boundary marker for the borders of the Amorites, then the ascent of Akrabbim must be tranjordan. It would make no sense to mark the boundary of the Amorites if the ascent of Akrabbim is on the western side of the Arabah because everyone knows the Amorites were located in what is Modern Jordan at the time of Joshua.
Another evidence that the ascent of Akrabbim travels east from the Arabah Valley up onto transjordan Jordan, and not west into the land of Judah, is the scant references to it in the rest of the Bible. If it was within the land of Judah, as is traditionally suggested (blue #3 on the map below) then we should find several references to it within the normal course of events. But we find this same pattern of lack of references to all the exodus route locations outside the boundaries Israel: ascent of Akrabbim, Kadesh, wilderness of Zin, wilderness of Paran, Mt. Sinai.
A. What the Bible says about the ascent of Akrabbim:
B. How to interpret Judges 1:34-36:
"Then the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the valley; yet the Amorites persisted in living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; but when the power of the house of Joseph grew strong, they became forced labor. The border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward." Judges 1:34-36
In 1406 BC, when the Israelites first came to the promised land, the Amorites controlled the transjordan from the Arnon River to Mt. Hermon and many key cities west of the Jordan including Jerusalem and Hebron. However, after defeating the Amorites, with God's help, they were displaced south of the Arnon River to Petra. But they retained one small stronghold west of the Jordan in the territory of Dan, where they occupied Mount Heres, Aijalon and Shaalbim.
In a kind of domino effect, just as Reuben displaced the Amorites moved south and displaced the Moabites and the Edomites. The Edomites were in turn, displaced south to Mt. Seir, (just north east of the Red Sea).
When Israel first crossed the Jordan with Joshua, the Amorites controlled both Hebron, Jerusalem and Engedi. They were defeated and driven transjordan between the time of Joshua to David.
Of course under David and Solomon, they were completely driven east and south of the entire transjordan area for a time, until the Assyrian captivity in 722 BC.

E. The traditional (wrong) location of the ascent of Akrabbim in Israel today:
Ma'ale Aqrabim (Scorpion Ascent)
With the establishment of Provincia Arabia at the beginning of the second century, the Romans paved a road from Hebron via Mamshit to Eilat. The tortuous road wound down to the Zin Valley - some twists were stairs quarried into the rock - through Ma'ale Zafir, also called Roman Ma'ale Aqrabim, after its Biblical name (Numbers 34) Wadi Gov separates Ma'ale Aqrabim from the Serpentine Road,
which the British cleared in 1927 from Mamshit towards En Husub, the Arava and on to Eilat During Operation "Lot" (Nov. 1948) members of the Palmach-"Negev" Brigade traveled down Ma'ale Aqrabim on their way to Sedom. The "Golani" Brigade rode down Ma'ale Aqrabim to Eilat when it captured the Arava in Operation "Uvda" (March 1949) After the War of Independence, the IDF Engineering Corps upgraded the old road to Eilat (April 1950) and established a monument on top. Not far away, on March 17, 1954, terrorists attacked an Egged bus returning from the celebration marking 5 years since the liberation of Eilat, and 11 people were killed." (highway inscription)
F. In 1847 AD the ascent of Akrabbim was located near
Ma'ale Aqrabim:
Rabbi Joseph Schwarz may in fact be the one who is responsible for misleading the search for Kadesh Barnea in the first place. He wrongly places Kadesh south of Gaza based upon similarity of names between several languages.
Descriptive Geography and Brief Historical Sketch of Palestine. By Rabbi Joseph Schwarz
Means literally the ascent of Scorpions, so to say, a most dangerous hill. The celebrated Saadia renders it, in his Arabic translation of the Scriptures, Ali Akbah Akrabin, i.e. or the country of Akbah Akrabin. The Arabs call the eastern bay of the Red Sea, Bachr Akabah; also the entire valley, from the Dead to the red Sea, they call ערבה Araba, Al Gor, also Akabah (see father down, art. Kikkar Hayarden ככר הירדן ). It is therefore to be presumed that this ascent of Akrabbim must be sought for in this valley. And, in truth, westward from the village Chansiri, on the edge of Al Gor, not far from the Wady Kurahy, there is a fearfully high and precipitous rocky acclivity, which to pass is extremely dangerous; and I suppose this is to be the Ascent of Akrabbim, here mentioned. [footnote: I explain Judges 1:36, וגבול האמרי ממעלה עקרבים מהסלה ומעלה "And the coast of the Amorite was from the going up of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward," to refer to the city Selah, mentioned in 2 Kings 14:7, which was also called Joktheel, and at a later period Petra, and which is also found in this Al Gor; and this leads us to place the ascent of Akrabbim northward of Selah or Petra.]
Kadesh-Barnea
. קדש ברנע
No geographer or traveller has hitherto succeeded to discover a trace of this place, But I believe that, through means of our own literary treasures, I shall be able to throw some light on this obscure name, so that it will be possible to fix its position with some degree of certainty.
Our commentators Onkelos, Jonathan, and the Targum Yerushalmi, all translate Kadesh-Barnea with רקם גיעא Rekam Gaya. In this connexion I have also discovered that the Wady al Arish (see farther down, under Nachal Mitzrayim נחל מצרים), united eastwardly with another Wady, which the Arabs call Wady Abiat (White Valley), or Wady Gaian. Another Wady, called by them Wady Bierin, is connected on the southeast with the Wady Gaian. I have scarcely any doubt but that the name of Gaian is derived from the ancient Rekam Gaya, and that Bierin is derived from the ancient Barnea; although the Arabs believe that this name is applied to the Wady because there are found in it several wells. I therefore believe that the true position of Kadesh-Barnea is to be found at the point where the Wadys Gaian and Bierin unite; and this is about 45 English miles south of Gaza

Click here for a complete discussion on the Amorites
Judges 1:34-36 recounts places where Israel failed to drive out the Amorites within the promised land. The narrative begins in the tribe of Dan, an area just north west of Jerusalem and how the Amorites occupied key areas within Dan's inheritance. It mentions two towns of Aijalon and Shaalbim whose location we can generally identify.
Oddly, though, the narrative then gives the border of the Amorites starting from the "Arabah Valley and upward". Such a border definition would basically include 80% of the promised land. Its like saying, the territory of the Amorites is everything north of the southern end of the Dead Sea. So what shall we make of this?
It is important to note a few things about the words in this verse. The word "upward" is common and non-specific. The word "border" is the common word for denoting territory or a border. But it is well known in the Bible that the expression "went up" or "went down" referred to elevation. For example: "Joseph went up from the Nazareth (350 meters above sea level) to Bethlehem (600 m)" Luke 2:4. And again: "Jesus went down (from Cana of Galilee 250 m) to Capernaum (-150 m), then Jesus went up to Jerusalem (750 m)." John 2:11-13. Therefore, the word, "upward" as it is used in Judges 1:36 likely refers to elevation.
So when we apply this common Jewish usage of "upward" in Judges 1:36, we read the text: "The area occupied and controlled by the Amorites started in the valley of the Arabah (50 m) and went up in elevation into the promised land from there."
The two lowest beginning points are the "ascent of Akrabbim" and "Sela" (or Petra). At the time of the failed conquest immediately after the spies came back and gave a bad report, it was the Amorites that repelled the disobedient Jews out of the Negev and back to Petra (Kadesh Barnea was located at or near Petra.)
Now we need to discuss how this impacts our choice of where the "ascent of Akrabbim" is located. There are in fact, 5 possible choices of where this ascent is located. Can Judges 1:36 give us any clues as to which side of the Arabah valley the ascent of Akrabbim on? Since Sela (Petra), is a known location on the east side of the Arabah valley, it seems logical to expect that the ascent of Akrabbim would be located on the west side. If this were truly the case, then it would indicate that the Amorites occupied from the upward and westward ascent of Akrabbim and upward and eastward from Petra. This would make good sense, since Judges 1:34-36 starts with the Amorite occupation of the territory of Dan "upward and west" of the Arabah valley. But this may not be the case, as there are other options.
If the ascent of Akrabbim is located on the eastern Arabah valley ascending upwards towards modern Jordan, as we believe it does, the text of Judges 1:34-36 also fits nicely. Since the Amorites were a very powerful nation, when Israel displaced them, they in turn displaced the Moabites and the Edomites out of their territory in 1406 BC. Remember, the Amorites had the territory north of the Arnon River and controlled Jerusalem, Hebron etc. The tribe of Reuben, Gad and Manassah possessed the territorial stronghold of the Amorites between the Arnon River and Mt. Hermon.
Keeping this in mind when reading Judges 1:34-36, means that the Amorites moved south of the Arnon River, displaced the Moabites and Edomites down as far as the ascent of Akrabbim (east side of the Arabah at the base of the Dead Sea ascending into modern Jordan) and Petra. The one exception was a tiny stronghold in the tribe of Dan as Judges 1:34-36 indicates.
C. Locating the ascent of Akrabbim: (Five possible choices)
(blue #1 on map) Our choice for the ascent of Akrabbim is marked by the blue #1 on map. The most likely easterly ascending route would follow Highway #60. The modern highway attests to its ancient usage. This route starts immediately at the bottom of the Dead Sea and moves up the ravine to the modern town of "At Tafila". Today, this route is the only modern highway (Highway #60) for cars between the Arabah Valley and the plateau in modern Jordan between the Dead sea and the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea). Jordanian Highway #60 starts at the town of Fifa in the Arabah Valley and passes through At Tafila and continues east. Here at At Tafila, it intersects with Highway #35. Highway #35 travels north to Amman and south through Petra and all the way to the Gulf of Aqaba. (After connecting with Highway #15. Highway #35 is the main route between the Aqaba and Amman and #15 is the western most highway in Jordan that traces the high ridges on top of the Arabah Valley and is very scenic. The mountains on the eastern Arabah valley are very high (similar to the Rocky Mountains in Canada) and form such a formidable barrier that there is no way to get from the valley into the Jordan Plateau except at either end of the range at the Dead Sea end via Highway 60 or Red Sea via Highway 35. This is the territory of Edom. God told Edom "The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, You who live in the clefts of the rock, In the loftiness of your dwelling place, Who say in your heart, 'Who will bring me down to earth?' "Though you build high like the eagle, Though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," declares the Lord." Obadiah 3-4 But for man it was an untouchable fortress.
(blue #2 on map) Our second choice for the ascent of Akrabbim starts on the eastern edge of the Arabah valley and ascents eastward into modern Jordan. Although there are two possible routes, the most likely route starts 35 km south of the Dead Sea, due north of Petra, and exactly opposite Nahal Paran and ascends into Modern Jordan. This route is quite obvious since it follows a major geological valley canyon from the Arabah valley east, onto the plateau in modern Jordan. Further, this
(blue #3 on map) This is the modern choice of location of the ascent of Akrabbim. This route, although it is not the ascent of Akrabbim, does indeed travel along an ancient route from the Arabah valley, through one of Solomon's border fortresses he built at Ein Haseva and into the promised land. It matters not that we reject this as the location for the Ascent of Akrabbim, for the fact remains that this was an ancient route used from the time of Solomon. Although it is a possible location for the Ascent of Akrabbim, there is a better transjordan choice, on the east side of the Arabah valley. (blue #1)
(blue #4 on map) This possible location for the Ascent of Akrabbim, is located half way between Nahal Paran and the Dead Sea on the west side of the Arabah valley, 35 km south of the Dead Sea. Although its path is not known for sure, it likely begins from the Arabah valley near the modern town of En Yahav and follows the wadi drainage path that leads to the south eastern end of Mizpe Ramon crater. If not towards the Mizpe Ramon crater, then it branches north along the same wadi onto the plateau.
(blue #5 on map) Another option, however is that the Ascent of Akrabbim follows the Nahal Paran. This is 65 KM south of the dead sea and is located on the east side of the Arabah valley ascending westward towards the Wadi El Arish drainage system. This is unlikely since it really is not much of an ascent, but a flat wide drainage area. Below is a photo of the center of the Nahal Paran ditch facing west towards Mt. Karkom ascending up the bank out of the valley on highway #40 where Nahal Paran intersects Nahal Sira. As you can see, it is not much of an ascent, more like a wide flood plain. It is not likely that the Nahal Paran is the ascent of Akrabbim.
"Then your border shall turn direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon." Numbers 34:4
"Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka." Joshua 15:3
"The border of the Amorites ran from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela [Petra] and upward." Judges 1:36
En la mitología griega, Atlas o Atlante (en griego antiguo Ἄτλας, ‘el portador’, de τλάω tláô, ‘portar’, ‘soportar’) era un joven titán al que Zeus condenó a cargar sobre sus hombros con los pilares que mantenían la Tierra (Gea) separada de los cielos (Urano). Era hijo de Jápeto y la ninfaClímene (en otras versiones, de Asia) y hermano de Prometeo, Epimeteo y Menecio. Higino, sin embargo, lo hace hijo de Gea y Éter o Urano, aunque el texto del Prefacio, donde hace esta afirmación, está algo corrompido. Fue el padre de las Hespérides (con Hesperis), Mera, las Híades, Calipso y las Pléyades.
La etimología del nombre Atlas es incierta y sigue discutiéndose: algunos lo derivan de la raíz protoindoeuropea*tel, ‘sostener’, ‘soportar’, mientras otros sugieren que es un nombre preindoeuropeo. Dado que las montañas Atlas están en una región habitada por bereberes, podría ser que el nombre latín tal como lo conocemos fuese tomado del bereber. De hecho, el sol es llamado a menudo ‘el ojo del cielo’ (Tit), y dado que se pone por el oeste, el océano Atlántico puede ser llamado ‘el lugar de ocultación del sol’ o Antal n Tit. Los griegos podrían haber tomado prestado este nombre para el océano, y usado más tarde su raíz atl- para formar el nombre «Atlas».
Atlas acaudilló a los Titanes en la Titanomaquia o guerra contra los olímpicos. Cuando fueron derrotados los Titanes, Zeus condenó a Atlas a cargar con el huerto amurallado y un dragón quedó encargado de vigilar su árbol dorado; recordó la profecía de Temis,[1] amenazó a Perseo y le aconsejó que se fuera. Entonces Perseo sostuvo la cabeza de Medusa ante los ojos de Atlas, y así lo convirtió en una enorme piedra a la que se llamaría cordillera del Atlas. Se decía de estas montañas que eran tan altas que tocaban el cielo, aunque sus árboles eran tan densos que impedían subirlas.
Sin embargo, otras versiones cuentan que Heracles, descendiente de Perseo, engañó a Atlas para que recuperase algunas manzanas de oro del jardín de las Hespérides como parte de sus doce trabajos. Prometeo le había aconsejado que no fuese él mismo a buscarlas, sino que enviase a Atlas. Para lograrlo, Heracles se ofreció a sujetar el cielo mientras Atlas iba a buscarlas. Pero al volver, Atlas no quiso aceptar la devolución de los cielos, y dijo que él mismo llevaría las manzanas a Euristeo, el hombre que las había pedido. Heracles lo engañó de nuevo, pidiéndole que sujetase el cielo un momento.
Diodoro Sículo afirmaba en su Biblioteca histórica[2] que Atlas o Atlante era un mítico rey de Mauritania, en Libia. Se decía que era un sabio filósofo y matemático y un extraordinario astrólogo, descubridor de la esfericidad de las estrellas y artífice del primer globo celeste. Ésta sería la razón por la que terminaría convirtiéndose un personaje fantástico que llevaría el firmamento completo sobre sus hombros.
Atlas se casó con Hesperis, hija de su hermano Héspero, con la que tuvo a las seis Hespérides, también llamadas Atlántides. La familia poseía rebaños de hermosas ovejas de color dorado. Busiris, el cruel rey de Egipto, envió piratas a raptar a las Hespérides. Mientras éstos estaban de camino, Heracles llegó a Egipto y, por otras razones, mató a Busiris. Mientras tanto, los piratas secuestraron a las muchachas mientras éstas jugaban en un jardín, y se marcharon con ellas. Desafortunadamente para ellos, Heracles les encontró mientras comían en una playa. Tras saber por las Hespérides lo que ocurría, mató a todos los piratas y devolvió a las muchachas a su padre Atlas, quien como recompensa le dio las ovejas de oro (adviértase que en griego μήλο mēlo puede significar ‘oveja’ o ‘manzana’) que le había pedido el rey Euristeo de Micenas.
Aunque desde mediados del siglo XVI es frecuente mostrar al titán Atlas en los atlas cartográficos, no fue a éste sino al rey libio a quien el geógrafo Gerardo Mercator rindió tributo cuando usó por primera vez el nombre «atlas» para describir un libro de mapas, al incluir una representación suya en la página-título de su libro Atlas, Sive Cosmographicae Meditationes De Fabrica Mundi... (publicado póstumamente en 1595).
Atlas sigue siendo un icono frecuentemente usado en la cultura y publicidad occidentales como símbolo de fuerza o resistencia estoica. En estas representaciones contemporáneas, se lo suele mostrar agachado con una rodilla en el suelo mientras sujeta un enorme globo terráqueo sobre sus hombros y espalda, imagen que no se corresponde a la antigua concepción griega del titán que sujetaba las columnas sobre las que se apoyaba el cielo.
Esta costumbre de representar a Atlas con la tierra sobre el cuello hizo que se diese su nombre a la primera vértebra del cuello.
La imagen de Atlas sosteniendo un gran peso fue usada por la escritora Ayn Rand en su novela La rebelión de Atlas (Atlas Shrugged), sirviendo como importante metáfora a lo largo de toda la obra. Un personaje de la novela dice que Atlas es «el gigante que sostiene el mundo sobre sus hombros», si bien en realidad sostenía los cielos.
En la mitología Romana, el gigante Atlas era el líder de los Titanes que peleó contra los dioses, quienes estaban presididos por Júpiter. Júpiter estaba peleando contra su padre, el Titán Saturno, para ganar control del mundo. Luego de diez años de lucha, Júpiter derrotó a su despótico padre, y asumió control del mundo.
Júpiter le impuso castigos severos a los Titanes. Atlas, como líder de los Titanes, recibió el castigo ejemplar de cargar el cielo en sus hombros. Una luna del planeta Saturno fue nombrada al igual que Atlas ya que peleó junto a su hermano Saturno.
Atlas tenía una esposa, la ninfa Pleione, quien dió a luz a las Pléyades y las Hiádes. También fué el padre de las Hespérides, cuya madre era Hesperis. Las Hespérides eran las guardianas del árbol de las manzanas de oro que la diosa de la Tierra Gea le dió a Juno, la esposa de, Júpiter, como regalo de boda. El árbol estaba en un sitio secreto.
Sin embargo, Atlas fué avisado por un oráculo que un hijo de Júpiter le robaría un día las manzanas de oro que eran cuidadas por sus hijas, las Hespérides. Por esta razón, le negó hospitalidad a todo el mundo. Debido a la inhospitabilidad de Atlas, Perseo le mostró la cabeza de la Medusa Gorgona, que convirtió a Atlas en piedra. Este mito se consideraba el origen de la formación de la montaña Atlas en Marruecos.
En una versión diferente de la historia, Hércules fué ordenado a buscar las manzanas de oro como parte de una de sus doce labores. Hércules persuadió a Atlas a que las recogiera de su parte, mientras Hércules sostenía el cielo en su lugar. Atlas aceptó pensando que podía dejar a Hércules sosteniéndo el cielo para siempre. Cuando regresó con las manzanas, Atlas le dijo a Hércules que el mismo le llevaría las manzanas al rey, Euristeos. Sin embargo, pretendiendo ajustar el peso en sus hombros, Hércules lo engañó, y Atlas se quedó sin las manzanas y de nuevo con su castigo
Cuenta la leyenda que el Héroe griego Hércules se enamoró
de Pirene (una de las pléyades), hija del dios Atlas. Pero Pirene rechazó a Hércules.
El enfado de Hércules fue tal que con un hacha
dividió España de África e inundó con el mar Mediterráneo la Atlántida, donde vivía Atlas y Pirene. Pero ella consiguió huir y se escondió en una zona entre España y Francia.
Cuando Hércules iba buscando en todo el mundo y estaba cerca de ella, esta hizo una gran pira y quemó todos los árboles para no ser encontrada. Y lloró, y sus lágrimas crearon los ibones. Cuando al final la encontró Hércules, vio que Pirene estaba muerta y sonriente de haber burlado a Hércules.
Este, lleno de tristeza la enterró con todas las piedras que encontró creando una gran cordillera que denomino Pirineos en recuerdo a Pirene.

This artists depiction below of the zodiac shows what the constellations would look like in life form. The two maps below show the north and south hemispheres when cut along the equator. In the northern hemisphere, the sun's highest position above the hemisphere is called the Tropic of Cancer and runs through the constellation Cancer. In the southern hemisphere, the sun's lowest position runs through Capricorn and is called the Tropic of Capricorn.
Each map shows an arc which represents to the sun's path. Each month the sun passes through one of the constellations, six of them in the north and six in the south. When the sun is in the north, say Aries, the southern stars in Aries can be seen in the south hemisphere map and vice versa when the sun is in the south.
In the evening hours the stars on the opposite side of the circle would appear where the sun was in the daytime. So, for example, when the sun is in Aries, the stars in Libra would be seen in the same position twelve hours later because earth makes half of a revolution within that time.
Though the constellations don't change in their relationship to each other. Earth has a wobble called precession that changes the time of year when the sun passes through them. A complete cycle is 25,920 years and a twelfth cycle is 2,160 years. These maps depict the time of the Age of Aries when the sun crosses Aries on the spring equinox. In Bible time it covers the time from Abraham, 2160 BCE, to Jesus at the beginning of the first century.
Starting at Sagittarius, there are some lines that run through Perseus to Gemini that look like stains. It is the Milky Way which the Bible usually depicts as a cloud or a celestial path to heaven.
This model not only serves as a source of Bible myths, many pagan myths had the same origins. When deciphering the Bible Code they often serve as guides to the astronomical themes in the Bible.
We are looking at the Zodiac where the sun passes through Libra and Virgo. There, we find our two original sinners and the talking snake. The story interprets the picture.
God formed beasts and birds, and brought them to the man to be named. - The term Zodiac means literally circle of animal figures.
9So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. (Gen. 2:9)
God took a rib from the man and used it to create a woman. - Adam's arm is raised, exposing his rib cage.
21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; > 22and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. (Gen. 2:21)
The serpent asked Eve if she was told not to eat from the garden. -The serpent lies at the feet of Adam and Eve.
1Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?" (Gen. 3:1)
Eve saw the fruit was good for food, so she picked it and ate it. She gave some to Adam. - Eve has her arm outstretched as if reaching for the fruit. She is holding a chaff of wheat, but we will not quibble over whether the fruit was an apple or some other kind of fruit.
6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. (Gen. 3:6)
The serpent was cursed above all the wild animals. - There is a second serpent, one that circles around the North Pole every day without setting. That puts him above all the wild animals. In this position, he is glaring down on earth as if to be spreading evil.
14The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; (Gen. 3:14)
He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. - As Draco circles around the Pole, his head is either below or above Hercules' heel. The top position represents who is doing the bruising.
15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."(Gen. 3:15)
He drove out the man. At the east of the garden he placed a cherubim and a flaming sword. - We will pass over the cherubim for some other time. The flaming sword is represented by Perseus' sword as it circles around the Pole. We note that Perseus is close to the sun's ecliptic near Taurus and Aries. The significance is that those two constellations mark the two zero hours during the 4,000 years of biblical history, or more specifically, where the sun passes during the vernal equinox. So Perseus' sword is in a sense at the entrance to Eden.
24He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Gen. 3:24)
Salvation
What is equally significant is the fact that the foundation of the doctrine of Christian original sin rests on the credibility of the fall of Adam and Eve. (See Original Sin.) Now that we can see that the first sin was in imaginary story, there is nothing to support the doctrine of salvation.
The downfall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, by Michalangelo.
Our northern tour starts at the three o'clock position when the sun enters the spring equinox. Follow the numbers in bold print. The outer circle represents the celestial equator which parallels earth's equator and divides the north and south hemisphere. The downward facing arc represents the sun's path through the zodiac.
The south tour begins at the nine o'clock position when the sun enters the autumn solstice. The outer circle represents the celestial equator which parallels earth's equator and divides the north and south hemisphere. The upward facing arc represents the sun's path through the zodiac.
Welcome to the Garden of Eden. The people who make a living off the Bible, insist that the Garden is somewhere in Mesopotamia. They're full of it.
The Garden is the area of sky within a circle of stars called the Zodiac. To prove that point, we are going to visit many of the stars (pun intended) of the Bible. Thanks to Star Myths, we have available to us, an artist's depiction of the classical constellations in lifelike form. So there is no need to decipher star patterns.
Before we start, the picture below helps to explain what you will be looking at. For charting convenience, astronomers treat the sky as if earth was enveloped inside a hollow ball they call the celestial sphere. For mapping purposes, the ball is cut into half along the Celestial equator, a plane concentric to earth's equator. There are two maps of the Garden, north and south.
The apparent movement of the stars depends on where you are and where the stars are on the celestial sphere. For example, if you are in the northern hemisphere, the stars around the North Pole are visible every night. Stars at the equator can be seen in the north and south hemispheres.
Figure 1.
The picture above (Figure 1) shows another circle called the ecliptic. It represents the path of the sun as seen from earth. The picture below (Figures 2 and 3) shows how the constellations of the zodiac lie on the ecliptic, the sun's path. Notice how the ecliptic rises and descends below the equatorial plane. Viewed from earth, the sun travels in the path of two arcs each day.
Where the equator and the ecliptic cross, marks the time when the sun enters the spring and fall equinox; the spring equinox sets the zero hour. As earth moves in its yearly orbit, the constellations appear to shift one position each month.
When God sent Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, he placed a flaming sword to guard the entrance. Astronomically, when Adam (Bootes) and Eve (Virgo) fall below the horizon, Perseus rises from the east with his sword as if to be chasing them away. The description of his flaming sword can be explained by the fact that when Perseus rises from the horizon, there is a meteor shower, known as the Perseids, which appears to stream from his constellation. Notice the similarity in names between Perseus and Perseids. For a description of cherubim, see [11N].
24He drove out the man; and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. (Gen. 3:24)
1N. The Passover Lamb
The entrance to the Garden is located at Aries the lamb. Moses was in Aries at the time of the ten Passover plagues. It was here when he told the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and smear its blood on their front doors so the angel of death would pass them by.
21Then Moses called all the elders of Israel, and said to them, "Select lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the passover lamb. (Exodus 12:21)
1N. The Lamb of God
John the Baptist calls Jesus the Lamb of God. Jesus is the Christian equivalent to the Passover Lamb.
29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)
1N. David and Goliath
To the left of Aries is the hideous sight of a man with a raised sword in one hand and an ugly head in the other. That is David with Goliath's head. Astronomers call it Perseus. The head he is holding is the head of the snake haired monster Medussa.
51Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. (1 Sam. 17:51)
1N. David and Bathsheba
Just above Perseus is the constellation Andromeda. In myth she was known for her beauty. When David was on the roof of the king's house he saw a beautiful woman bathing. When he inquired who she was, she was identified as Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite. David sent for her and lay with her. Within a short time she found herself pregnant.
2It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking upon the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?" 4So David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, "I am with child." (2 Sam. 11:2-5)
David solved his problem by having Uriah sent to the front lines of battle where he would meet certain death.
14In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15In the letter he wrote, "Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die." (2 Sam. 11:14-15)
2N. Golden Calf
Taurus the bull was the place where the Israelites made the Golden Calf. When Moses came down the mountain with the two tablets he saw the Israelites dancing around the calf.
He was so angry he broke the tablets God made and made the people drink a concoction of powdered golden calf and water.
19And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tables out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. 20And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the people of Israel drink it. (Exodus 32:19-20)
Moses wasn't satisfied. So he sent his priests with swords to avenge what they did.
28And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. (Exodus 32:28)
Then God had to get his licks, so he sent a plague upon the people.
35And the LORD sent a plague upon the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made. (Exodus 32:35)
3N. Elijah
On the outer circle, the upper half of a man with a club in his hand is called Orion. In the Old Testament, Orion is known as Elijah. Elijah is best known for going to heaven by a whirlwind-he didn't die. You have to look closely for the whirlwind. It's the Milky Way which starts just behind Orion, bends across Perseus [1] and flows up to [11] Aquila the eagle.
11And as they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. (2 Kings 6:11)
3N. Son of Man
Another famous person connected with the Milky Way is Jesus' Son of man. Prophecies about the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory describe Orion and the Milky Way. They can be seen on a clear dark night with a new moon at around the third week in December. Orion is easily visible on almost any winter night. For details, see Son of Man
24"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26<And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. (Mark 13:24)
3N. David and Jonathan
We turn our attention now to the Gemini twins where David and Jonathan had a homosexual love affair. The Bible is not explicit with the details, but there if enough to tell the tale.
When they first met, Jonathan stripped himself naked in front of David.
3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. 4And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his girdle. (1 Sam. 18:3-4)
Jonathan's father, Saul was angry at his son for shaming his mother's nakedness.
30Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness? (1 Sam. 20:30)
Next to a stone heap, they were laying on the ground kissing. In biblespeak, stone heaps are usually phallic symbols.
41And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed [prostrate] three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself. (1 Sam. 20:41-42)
David was distressed at Jonathan's death. His love was wonderful, better than the love of a woman.
26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me; your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. (2 Sam. 1:26)
4N. Backsliders
Moses had a crabby streak at Cancer the crab; there was a lot of bloodshed. From Numbers 11 to 20, this is where the Israelites tried to rebel against Moses; thousands died. See Moses' Sun Signs Particularly, this is where God sentenced the Israelites to wander forty years in the desert.
5N. Samson's Lion
The lion you are looking at is the one Samson killed. For those not familiar with Samson, he had the strength of Hercules, which is where this tale came from. In the Greek myth, Hercules killed the Nemean lion as one of his twelve labors.
5Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, and he came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared against him; 6and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion asunder as one tears a kid; and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done. (Judges 14:5-6)
5N. Deep
Hydra is the largest constellation in the sky. It is split in two halves with its head in the north hemisphere and the rest of its long snaking body in the south. Genesis 1:2 calls it deep which translates to tehom. Tehom is related to Tiamet, the primeval dragon goddess in the Babylonian epic Enuma Elish. In the epic, the supreme god Marduk defeated Tiamet, whose body personified the primeval ocean. When she was split in half, the second half became the sky.
1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. (Gen. 1:1-2)
In the same way, God split the waters in two, and called the second half, "heaven".
6And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. (Gen. 1:6-8)
5N. Leviathan
The description of Leviathan as a twisting serpent and as the dragon of the sea points to Hydra. Presumably, God's sword cut him in half.
1In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathanthe twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. (Isaiah 27:1)
6N. Eve
Eve was the first woman to be created and the original virgin. At Virgo she appears with an outstretched hand as if to be offering the forbidden fruit.
6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, and he ate. (Gen. 3:6)
6N. Virgin Mary
Because Virgo lies on the sun's ecliptic, she is the most important. Notice how she is lying prostrate, as if she is in the missionary position, waiting for God to lay upon her. See When Was Jesus Born
18Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; (Matt. 1:18)
7N. Elisha and the Bears
In starlore, Bootes is known as the Bear Driver. To the right at [9], there are two bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. They are the two bears which Elisha sicked on some boys who called him baldhead. The bears killed forty-two boys.
23He went up from there to Bethel; and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!" 24And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys. (2 Kings 2:23-24)
7N. Eve's Birth
Bootes is also Adam in the Garden. His raised arm exposes his ribcage. God took one of those ribs and used it to create Eve. His outstretched arm also represents his accepting the forbidden fruit from Eve.
21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; 22and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman (Gen. 2:21)
7N. Joseph
As Mary's husband, Bootes stands alongside Mary.
18Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; (Matt. 1:18)
8N. The serpent
There is a famous event when the Serpent convinces Eve that the forbidden fruit will not kill her. Serpens the serpent is at her feet as if to be talking to her.
1Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?" 2And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 4But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. 5For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. (Gen. 3:1-5)
8N. Evil Herod
Serpents are evil creatures, and who could be more evil that snake Herod, the man who tried to kill Jesus.
16Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. (Matt. 2:16)
9N. The Tree of Life
In the middle of the Garden is the tree of life which we know as the star Polaris. In earlier times, the star Thuban was located at the North Pole but due to earth's precession, it declined. Thuban is located on Draco the Dragon's tail, so it was called the tree of good and evil. Genesis depicts it decline as the fruit which Adam and Eve picked.
9And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 2:9)
10N. Serpents Seed
When God punished the serpent, he put him above all the other animals. The highest spot in the garden is at the North Pole where Draco the serpent is located. Notice his head is under Hercules' foot. As they revolve around the pole, when Hercules is on top, he is bruising the serpent's head. When the serpent is on top, it is bruising Hercules' heel. What makes the serpent so sinister in the minds of ancients is that in the north sky, it is visible every night as if to be lurking everywhere.
14The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." (Gen. 3:14-15)
11N. Cherubim
The Cherubim is a very large creature that covers the entire Garden. So we have to look in four directions. Ezekiel says it has four faces, the face of a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle. At [2] is the ox. At [5] is the lion. At [11] is the eagle. And in the south garden at [2] is the man. Combined, they protect the four cardinal points.
10As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle at the back. (Ezekiel 1:10)
Cetus is the great fish who swallowed Jonah. In that quadrant called the sea, Jonah is likely represented by Aquarius the waterman.
17And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. (Jonah 1:17)
2S. Jesus
The original birth of Jesus was marked when the sun entered the stars of Pisces the fishes. Thus Jesus is the sun in the age of Pisces. So when Jesus says he will be with us until the close of the age, he meant the age of Pisces. The sun will enter the Age of Aquarius sometime in the second decade of the second millennium. See When Was Jesus Born
18And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." (Matt. 28:20)
3S. John the Baptist
Above the fish is Aquarius the waterman. That pitcher of water he is pouring symbolizes John the Baptist, pouring water on Jesus (Pisces [2]) as if to be baptizing him. See John the Baptist
1In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matt. 3:1-2)
4S. Nativity
A well known scene around Christmas time is the Nativity-baby Jesus in a basket, surrounded by his parents and a few goats, donkeys and lambs. In Capricorn the sea goat is where it happened. Capricorn is the time of December 25 when the sun emerges from its three darkest days. As a place where livestock are kept, the goat symbolizes the manger.
15When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." 16And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. (Luke 2:15-16)
5S. Crucifixion
That hoofed man with the bow and arrow is known as Sagittarius the archer. Sagittarius is the time of the year when the sun allegorically dies at the winter solstice, the darkest days of winter. This is the place of the Skull, where the archer's arrows nailed Jesus to the cross.
33And when they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. (Luke 23:33)
Figuratively the cross it is the imaginary lines of the equinoxes crossing the solstices. Thus allegorically, the sun is crucified on the cross at the time of the winter solstice. The Christian cross represents the length of the four seasons. See Gospel Zodiac
6S. Last Supper
The house of Scorpio is where Jesus had his last supper. It is the last stop before the sun enters Sagittarius where it is going to die. So when Jesus said his time was at hand and he will keep the Passover at "your" house, he meant the time when the sun is in the house of Scorpio.
18He said, "Go into the city to a certain one, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples.'" (Matt. 26: 18)
7S. Noah's Ark
It takes a big boat to hold two of every animal on earth, and the constellation Argo Navis has the capacity. It is so big, that it was divided into three constellations: Carina the Keel, Puppis the Stern and Vela the Sail.
13And God said to Noah, "I have determined to make an end of all flesh; for the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. (Gen. 6:13-14)
Argo Navis and the Sea is the source of a multitude of ancient flood myths. The one that relates to the name Argo Navis is called "Jason and the Argonauts". It's an adventure story about the crew's quest to find the Golden Fleece.
The south Garden has many constellations relating to water. On the second day of creation, God separated the waters and called the upper half the firmament. These constellations symbolize birth or evil, depending on where they are in the sun cycle.
6And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. (Gen. 1:6-8)
8S. The Dove
After the rain stopped, Noah sent a dove out three times to find land. The first time the dove came back; the second time it returned with an olive leaf; and the third time it did not return. So Noah knew it found land. That dove is otherwise known as Columba. In the Jason and the Argonauts legend, Jason sent a dove to see if it could fly through some dangerous rocks.
6At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made, 7and sent forth a raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground; 9but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put forth his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. 10He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11and the dove came back to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. 12Then he waited another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more. (Gen. 8:6-12)
9S. Star of Bethlehem
At the bottom half of Orion, there are three stars at its waist. To the right there is a dog with a big eye. Those are your three wise men and the star of Bethlehem. What is unique about the star in the dog's eye is that it is the brightest star in the sky next to the sun. A line through the three wise men points to the dog's eye, Sirius. On December 25 in the afternoon, the three wise men rise above the horizon. An hour later, Sirius ascends above the horizon. A straight line through all four stars, points to the house of baby Jesus. See Star of Bethlehem
9When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was. (Matt. 2:9)
10S. Red Sea
Among the outstanding events in the Bible is the time when pharaoh's army pursued the Israelites across the Red Sea. There is a general consensus among scholars that the crossing could not have been across the actual Red Sea. Among many other impossible obstacles, like trekking through a waterless desert, it is 150-200 miles long, a mile and a half deep, and too salty to be potable. They speculate on alternate routes, but the real answer is the writer didn't know his geography and had a tendency to exaggerate.
There is no speculation here. Moses was another sun hero like Jesus. At that time the sun was in the house of Taurus. Located in Taurus is the constellation Eridanus the river. See Moses' Sun Signs
18But God led the people round by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle. (Exodus 13:18)
4"Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea; and his picked officers are sunk in the Red Sea. (Exodus 15:4)
10S. THe Jordan River
Eridanus represents the Jordan River when Joshua crossed it into the Promised Land
1Early in the morning Joshua rose and set out from Shittim, with all the people of Israel; and they came to the Jordan, and lodged there before they passed over. (Joshua 3:1)

Estamos viendo el zodiaco donde el sol pasa a través de Libra y Virgo . Allí, nos encontramos con nuestras dos pecadores originales y la serpiente que habla. La historia interpreta la imagen.
Dios formó las bestias y las aves, y los trajo al hombre para ser nombrado. - El término significa literalmente zodiaco círculo de figuras de animales.
9 Por lo tanto, de la tierra, Jehová Dios formó toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y las trajo a Adán para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adán llamó a los animales vivientes, ese es su nombre. (Génesis 2:09)
Dios tomó una costilla del hombre y la utilizó para crear a una mujer. - El brazo de Adam se levantó, dejando al descubierto su caja torácica.
21 Entonces el Señor Dios causó un profundo sueño a caer sobre el hombre, y mientras éste dormía, tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar; > 22 Y de la costilla que Jehová Dios tomó del hombre, hizo una mujer y la trajo al hombre. (Gen. 2:21)
La serpiente le preguntó a Eva si ella le dijo que no comiera del jardín. -La serpiente se encuentra a los pies de Adán y Eva.
1 La serpiente era el más astuto de todos los animales del campo que Jehová Dios había hecho. Él le dijo a la mujer: "¿Dijo Dios:" No comáis de todo árbol del huerto? " (Génesis 3:01)
Eva vio el fruto era bueno para comer, así que ella lo tomó y se lo comió. Ella dio a Adán. - Eva tiene su brazo extendido como si alcanza para la fruta. Ella está sosteniendo un tamo de trigo, pero no vamos a discutir por si la fruta era una manzana o algún otro tipo de fruta.
6 Cuando la mujer vio que el árbol era bueno para comer, y que era agradable a los ojos, y árbol codiciable para alcanzar la sabiduría, tomó de su fruto y comió, y dio también a su marido, el cual comió. (Gen. 3:06)
La serpiente fue maldita serás entre todas las bestias del campo. - Hay una segunda serpiente, uno que circula alrededor del Polo Norte todos los días sin establecer. Eso lo coloca por encima de todos los animales salvajes. En esta posición, él se miraba hacia abajo en la tierra como si fuera a ser la difusión del mal.
14 Y Jehová Dios dijo a la serpiente: "Por haber hecho esto, maldita serás entre todas las bestias y entre todos los animales silvestres; (Gén. 3:14)
Ésta te herirá en la cabeza, y tú le herirás en el calcañar. - A medida que los círculos de Draco alrededor del Polo, su cabeza está por debajo o por encima del talón de Hércules. La posición superior representa que está haciendo la contusión.
15 Y pondré enemistad entre ti y la mujer, y entre tu simiente y la simiente suya;. él te herirá en la cabeza, y tú le herirás en el calcañar " (Génesis 3:15)
Expulsó al hombre. Al oriente del huerto colocó un querubín y una espada encendida. - Vamos a pasar por encima de los querubines para otra ocasión. La espada de fuego está representado por la espada de Perseo mientras circula alrededor del Polo. Tomamos nota de que Perseo se encuentra cerca de la eclíptica del sol cerca de Tauro y Aries. El significado es que esas dos constelaciones marcan los dos cero horas durante los 4.000 años de la historia bíblica, o más específicamente, en el que el sol pasa durante el equinoccio de primavera. Así que la espada de Perseo es en cierto sentido a la entrada al Edén.
24 Echó fuera al hombre, y puso al oriente del jardín de Edén colocó a los querubines, y una espada encendida que se revolvía por todos lados, para guardar el camino del árbol de la vida. (Génesis 3:24)
Salvación
Lo que es igualmente importante es el hecho de que el fundamento de la doctrina del pecado original cristiana se basa en la credibilidad de la caída de Adán y Eva. (Ver Pecado Original .) Ahora que podemos observar que la primera había pecado en historia imaginaria, no hay nada para apoyar la doctrina de la salvación.
La caída de Adán y Eva y su expulsión del Jardín del Edén, por Michalangelo.
La leyenda se desarrolla en el siglo I, cuando el sol como personificada por Jesús iba a la deriva de Aries a Piscis durante el equinoccio de primavera . En la imagen de abajo, note la yuxtaposición de los tres actores de la trayectoria del sol de Aries a Piscis. La historia describe la imagen.
Mateo nos dice que había tres personas involucradas en el funeral de Jesús: José de Arimatea, María Madgalene y la otra María. Joseph era rico mientras Cefeo era un rey, presumiblemente rico también.
Cuando llegó la noche, vino un hombre rico de Arimatea, llamado José, que era también discípulo de Jesús. Él fue a Pilato y le pidió el cuerpo de Jesús. Entonces Pilato mandó que se lo entregaran. Y José tomó el cuerpo, lo envolvió en una sábana limpia, y lo puso en su sepulcro nuevo, que había labrado en la roca, rodó una piedra grande a la entrada del sepulcro, y se fue. María Magdalena y la otra María se quedaron allí sentadas enfrente del sepulcro. (Mateo 27:57-61)
María Magdalena y la otra María fueron al sepulcro.
Pasado el día de reposo, al amanecer del primer día de la semana, María Magdalena y la otra María fueron a ver el sepulcro. (Mateo 28:1)
Marcos nos dice que María Magdalena fue la primera en ver a Jesús después de que apareció en el sepulcro. En la imagen que está justo al lado del sol en Piscis. También se nos dice que Jesús echó fuera siete demonios de María Madgalene. En el mito de Andrómeda, que fue encadenado a una roca y deja a la merced del monstruo de mar, sólo para ser rescured por Perseo. No hay monstruos en este cuadro, pero muestra un rescate paralelo con pies de Perseo en las siete estrellas de las Pléyades como si fuera a ser pisando fuerte en ellos como si fueran demonios.
Ahora, cuando se levantó temprano el primer día de la semana, se apareció primero a María Magdalena, de quien había echado siete demonios. (Marcos 16:09)
EN EL MENSAJE ANTERIOR HAY UNA EQUIVALENCIA CON LA DESTRUCCION DE BABILONIA. INDUDABLEMENTE LA TORA ESTA IRONIZANDO QUE LA RAMERA DE BABILONIA ES LA MISMA MARIA MAGDALENA.
ESE ES EL MENSAJE DETRAS DE LA EXPULSION DE LOS 7 DEMONIOS SOBRE LA MISMA.
ES OBVIO EL MARCO ESOTERICO CON APOCALIPSIS 17:9. (17X9=153)
