THE BIRTH OF JESUS:
PREDICTED IN THE STARS
THE BIRTH OF JESUS PREDICTED
IN THE STARS:
ONLY GOD CAN PERFORM THESE ULTRA-LARGE
ASTRO CALCULATIONS AND POSSISIONING THEM
SO THEY TURN INTO A ‘LANGUAGE’
UNDERSTOOD BY ASTRONOMERS!
JAN LILLEBY
I am referring to an article published here on my site, with the title «According to the Signs Told of Jesus in the Stars, He Was Born 9-11-3 BC».
This sign in the heavens (astronomical) are mentioned in Rev. 12, telling of the Virgin giving birth to a child. Image: Virgo.
Astronomers have gotten proof of the sign ‘Virgo’ which stood on the sky this mentioned date – 9-11 in 3 BC, thus giving the hour, the day, the month and the year of the birth of Jesus. He was born shortly before 19.30 (evening) as the celebration of The Trumpets was going on in Israel, called Tishri in Hebrew. The Shofars starts the blowing in the temple when the early morning service opens. But later it was the practice to have around one hundred trumpets (shofars) blow….and the entire city of Jerusalem could easily hear these sounding. Remember, the temple was cited on Zion, a tall ridge in the city.
I am not going to repeat this great event here in any detail. But I would like to point out the greatness of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator and Father of Christ.
His ability to put up such a ‘show’ using the stellar heavens as stage, - is stunning and jaw-dropping.
What an enormous wisdom and power He possesses, so that He might put together a number of planets and stars to make that ‘Virgo’ appear like it did when Jesus was born.
Not only did He just put them there, but the whole universe were created in the very same moment…for if it were not, the universe would have ‘fallen apart’ – the Galaxies and stars and planets had to be created in the very same moment for each one of them to remain in existence. The stars are balanced to all the rest of the universe. Astronomical science has these facts of creation clear to them. This balance would be impossible if the planets and stars were created in a successive order.
Meaning, that the Virgo-sign, predicting exact time of the birth of Jesus, was placed there at the same time as all the other bodies of heaven were created. A huge unfathomable mega-gigantic move of God, the Creator.
In this comparison we humans become real small….
Check out how Paul wrote about this – now that you know this fact, that the universe was created in the very same moment – ALL AT ONCE,
Col. 1:15-20, NASB,
“15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities -all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,
20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.”
We can – as many ministers already does – very well call this passage for “The Great Creator Declaration of Christ” – as it shows us Jesus Christ in an almighty position…equal to His Father’s might and power and glory!
It was God’s good pleasure to have His entire fullness dwelling in Him, the Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus is before ALL THINGS; and in Him ALL THINGS hold together.
This verse 17 is expressing just what I told above: All the universe was created by Him, in the one and the same moment! Christ has no lacking in power: He created – along with His Father – ALL things at the one and same moment in time.
This sure makes us feel mighty small, doesn’t it?
But this is the Christ we are presented to as Paul wrote his two prison epistles. An almighty glorious Savior and even possessing ALL of God’s fullness, God’s power, God’s might.
It was thus Jesus Christ who placed the stars and planets to become sure signs telling of His first advent. Genesis 1:14-16, NASB,
14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth "; and it was so.
16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
Notice: These are quotations telling of the earth, and how this planetary solar system worked in relation to the earth. In Gen. 1:1 we are presented with a desolate planet earth, over which the Holy Spirit of God was ‘hoovering’. Earth was there, before He created man. But it was a ‘dead’ ice-capped planet.
But the universe was thus created long before this passage described certain effects of the heavenly bodies of stars and planets.
But they are for SIGNS says verse 14. Signs which can be read by persons educated in astronomy.
THE BREATHTAKING DISTANCES TO THE
PLANETS AND STARS
If we check out the enormous distance within the stars/planets making up the Virgo sign, these are the figures/facts for it:
I shall list the star ‘Spica’ first, since this is the brightest one in the Virgo. It is as far away from the earth as 250 LIGHT YEARS. We have no capacity in ourselves to imagine such gigantic distances…we must give up that attempt! Spica consists of two stars in close orbit. It is one of the 58 bright navigation stars.
Virgo is found in the night sky as one of several constellations which are in the Zodiac constellation (in which also the sun and the moon pass).
There are found 13 Zodiac constellations.
Using astronomical language, it is located in the Southern Hemisphere’s third Quadrant (SQ3) and is visible between latitudes of +80 and -80 degrees. Neighboring star constellations to Virgo include Leo and Libra.
The sheer size of the Virgo in the sky is jaw dropping, with its maddening full 1294 (!!) square Degrees!
When watching Virgo, one must remember that a lesser and not so bright star as the Spica, is looking lesser, simply because that star is way deeper into the Virgo than the Spica. Thus the distance from earth is much more remote than a brighter star. We are talking of millions of kilometers, or actually light-years. Several of the light-points in Virgo comes from bright Galaxies far, far, out in space.
Just because we find the Spica as a bright star in Virgo, does not mean that it is closer to earth than others. I already made that clear, telling you above that it is as far away as 250 Light Years! It’s totally awesome.
Stars in Virgo, like Auva, is less than 200 Light Years away, and Heze which is just 75 Light Years off.
HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS, FOR HERE
ARE ADDITIONAL VIRGO FACTS
# The constellation includes a cluster of galaxies known as the Virgo Cluster, and includes close to 2000 Galaxies out there!!
# Spica (I don’t know why) is found on the Brazilian National Flag
# 20 of Virgos stars has known planets, which is more than any other star constellation out there!
And it was all put out there by the Lord as He created the entire universe in one singular blazing moment!
This Lord and Savior, Jesus, is the Head of His body, which is His church. Col. 1:18, NASB,
“He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.”
Adding verses 21-23,
“21 And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,
22 yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach -
23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister. “
