The Conception and Birth of John the Baptist and JesusJohn The Baptist was conceived at the Autumn Equinox, when the land lays barren and bare after the harvest. Thus, he was allegorically conceived in the barren womb of Elizabeth. For context, the term 'Beth' means 'House' in Hebrew. At the Autumn Equinox, The Sun passes through the House of Virgo - the Virgin, in whose hand is held a sheath of Wheat, notated by the star Spica. Thus, the House of Virgo is synonymous with the House of Bread (Beth le Hem), and likewise, through the conception of John, the womb of Elizabeth. The name Elizabeth literally breaks down to Lady (El) Isis (Isa/Iza) of the House (Beth) - the House (womb) of Isis. John's conception was his first berthing: his Soul being tethered into flesh. John was second-born (berthed unto the Earth) nine months later at the Summer Solstice, when the summer rains come to Egypt. Thus, he was assimilated with the act of Baptism by Water - that is, he came into his second berth (not misspelled) during the Egyptian period known as the "Season of the Storm" (the annual inundation of the Nile). This day was immediately followed, in Greek tradition, by the Dog Days of Summer. John is intimately tied to the Age of Aries. He is often portrayed as being accompanied by the Agnus Dei - the Ram of God. It is written in the New Testament that John the Baptist stated: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). The name of the patriarch of John's lineage - Aaron - bears an obviously Aries title-name. The Age that was waning at the time of the conception and birth of Moses and Aaron was the Age of Taurus (Baal): in the time of John and Jesus it was that of Aries, through which John's father Zechariah presided as the last Kohen Gadol of the Aaronic lineage. John was the last-conceived priestly Son born during the Age of Aries, and was also the last first-born Son of Aries in that he was literally conceived on the first day of the Jewish New Year, which coincided with the last year of the cusp between the Houses of Aries and Pisces. As the symbol of the waning Age of Aries, John must decrease, in order that Jesus, as the symbol of the waxing Age of Pisces, increase. Likewise, just as the Summer Solstice marks the Sun in all of its glory, it likewise marks the point at which the Sun stops ''growing'' and begins its annual ''dying'' for the sins of man, in order to be resurrected at the Winter Solstice. Again, John as the Summer Sun must decrease, in order that Jesus as the resurrected Sun at the Winter Solstice be resurrected and thus increase. Looking back again at John 1:29, it is obvious that when John was speaking of the Lamb of God, he was referring to his own duty as the Sun born of the Summer Solstice to die for the sins of mankind, albeit presented in corrupted form by the ''In God We Trust, Incorporated'' Catholic Church as being spoken ''in third-party'' by John as a reference to Jesus. For had this been a reference to Jesus, his crucifixion would have begun at the Autumn Equinox, and the period of three days in Hell would have been the three days leading up to the Winter Solstice resurrection of the Sun, during which time the Sun ''lies in state'' ("Sol Stice") at the Southern-most point of its annual transit in our sky (the Tropic of Capricorn).
Jesus The Christ was conceived at the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, exactly six months after John's conception, when the virgin land begins its rebirth. Thus, he was allegorically conceived in the womb of the virgin, not unlike John, at the exact same point of the year in which, exactly thirty-one years later, he would re-enter the womb (tomb). Jesus was second-born (berthed unto the Earth) at the Winter Solstice, when the Sun is resurrected in the Tropic of Capricorn. Thus, Jesus was assimilated with the fire baptism - that is, the relighting of the fire of spirit within otherwise inert matter. Jesus is intimately tied to the Age of Pisces. The ''Fishers of Man'' parable, the Ichthys symbolism and even the Pope's mitre are just a few of the assimilations made between Jesus and Pisces. Pisces was the Age unto which Jesus was the new-born/first-born Son. The Firstborn Sons For centuries scholars have imposed a link between the order in which noble children are born. Of course, noble tutelage has been passed down from the first-born as the primary beneficiary, yet in ancient scripture and contemporary literature, it was written that the first noble born child always went into the priesthood, and the second into rulership, which seems to create a major contradiction. The truth, however, is that the noble houses of the Common Era have always aware of the fact that the Catholic references to the predominance of the firstborn sons was in error due to its vagueness. As such, ponder for a moment what follows: if Jesus was the first-born son of Mary and the aged Joseph, then why did John the Baptist have to sojourn to Egypt with Jesus in order to escape Herod? Why did Herod call for the murder of all of the firstborn sons of Israel? Herod certainly would have known that a woman can conceive a first-born child as ''young'' as Mary or as ''old'' as Elizabeth - and as such, a first-born could be the child of a fourteen year old woman or a forty-plus year old woman, - or in Elizabeth's case according to the New Testament, 88 years of age! This would mean that in order to assure a clean sweep, Herod would have had to have kept his edict in place for at lease 74 years! The firstborn sons myth when applied to a specific child coming forth from a specific woman's womb would have driven Herod mad. Herod's edict was not in reference to the firstborn child of the womb, but rather in regards to the firstborn child of the new Age. Herod must have realized that the Ages were changing from Aries to Pisces, and as such, on the basis of the history of the previous age in which Taurus was replaced by Aries and Egypt fell into disrepair, Herod realized that the second coming of a messiah figure might herald in the disrepair of his own land and lineage. Herod would have likewise known that the land to the south of the Levant which was called in error Egypt, was in fact Khemet. In other words, Herod knew that the destruction that befell the ''House of Ptah'' was not an allusion to Khemet alone, but rather to the tyrannical powers-that-be (were) at the time of Moses and Aaron. Herod wasn't concerned with solely a Judaen nobility usurping his reign - he would have certainly known that Moses never overthrew the Khemetic nobility, nor did Moses ever attain a kingdom of his own during his lifetime. Herod was concerned with the Judaen priesthood and the destruction of his Levantine vassalage under the new Age to come. John and Jesus, Anubis and Horus Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys were all assimilated to some degree with the Dog Star Sirius in ancient Egypt. Osiris was also the deification of the Sun, and as such, embodied the day. Seth (Herod) was the deification of Saturn, and as such, denoted the night and darkness. Isis was the deification of the Morning Star (Sirius), and as such, denoted the Dawn, and Nephthys (Salome) was the deification of the Evening Star (Venus), and as such, denoted the Dusk and shadows. Osiris was the husband of Isis, just as the Day is the husband of the Dawn, and Seth was the husband of Nephthys, just as the evening is the wife of the night. When Horus was born, he assumed the personification-deification role of Sirius after his birth, thus making him synonymous with the Morning Star tradition. To complicate matters, after the birth of Horus, Isis became assimilated with the Moon, which often - but not always - rises as the evening encroaches. Likewise, both Sirius and Venus rise at different times of the dawn/day/evening/night throughout the course of the year. Solar and Lunar Eclipses The ancients held a deep fear of solar and lunar eclipses, as they believed that such indicated that darkness (and thus, Seth) was attacking the Sun (Osiris) or the Moon (Isis). Osiris and Nephthys, Abram and Sarai, and Revelation In Egyptian tradition, on one occasion, Nephthys (Venus: the Evening Star) disguised herself as Isis (Sirius: the Morning Star) in order to trick Osiris into sleeping with her, which resulted in the conception and birth of Anubis, who later became the Lord of the Underworld (The Earth, in correlation to the Heavens, is the underworld). When Seth found out about this union, he became enraged and sought to murder Osiris. Isis and Nephthys attempted to protect Osiris in order to keep Seth from assuming the throne of Egypt, but Seth managed to drown Osiris (in the celestial Nile?) and have him cut into thirteen pieces, of which the thirteenth piece (his phallus: Ophiuchus?) was never recovered. Seth had Osiris' remains scattered throughout Egypt (the 13 Houses of the Zodiac). After Osiris' death, Isis and Nephthys went about collecting Osiris' remains, after which they resurrected him long enough for Isis and Osiris - with the help of Nephthys - to conceive Horus, thus thwarting Seth's attempt to usurp the throne of Osiris. In the hieroglyphs of this resurrection/ immaculate conception, Isis and Nephthys are shown flanking the mound of creation within which Osiris is set upon a funerary barque. These hieroglyphs are the origin of the Judaeo-Christian Ark and Cherubim. When Seth found out about the conception and birth of Horus, he went on a campaign to destroy anyone whom came between him and the throne (resulting in the murdering of the first-born sons of Egypt). Seth also unleashed his wrath against Nephthys, whom he grabbed by one of her wings, threw her to the ground and cut off both of her wings. Here, Seth becomes the constellation Hydra, also known as the Egyptian Serpent of darkness and chaos Apophis - Herut, whom later became known as the Biblical Herod. Note that Nephthys (Venus) was ''thrown to the ground'' and ''had her wings cut off'': this is significant, in that the orbit of the planet Venus - as well as ancient customs afforded to her - prove the fact that Venus is not native to our solar system, but rather was cast down into it. After Nephthys was cast down, Isis placed her new-born child Horus into a reed basket and hid him in the marshes of the Celestial Nile in order to protect him from the Herut Serpent. The basket came to rest, the baby was discovered and he went on to become the first ruler of Kemet (''Egypt''). There are many parallels between this and other traditions, as well allegories regarding the natural world in which we live. The eternal quest between day (order) and night (chaos), etc. As with much of what has been written of by the ancient scribes, it is the original occurrence in nature which later gave rise to allegorical prose referencing the divine. See "The War in Heaven" Red Sirius The tradition regarding Osiris sleeping with Nephthys refers to the fact that Venus is sometimes confused with Sirius in the evening as well as at Dawn, This is witnessed in the 'Red Sirius' anomaly throughout history, in which Venus (the Evening Star) was erroneously confused with Sirius (the Morning Star) by ancient scholars in ancient texts from several diverse cultures, including Babylonian, Greco-Roman, Chinese and early-medieval European sources, including Ptolemy. The Old Testament story of Abram, Sarai and Pharaoh can be seen as an allusion to the 'Red Sirius' anomaly as well, for had it been meant to be interpreted literally as it is stated in the Pentateuch, a definite issue arises regarding the morals of Abram and Sarai. In both the Osiris and Abrahamic traditions, the nobility is threatened by a ruse in which the sister-wife of one man is misrepresented to the nobility, which leads to strife within the kingdom. In the case of Osiris, his confusing Nephthys (the Evening Star) with his wife Isis (the Morning Star) is an allusion to Venus being confused with Sirius. The Pentateuch clearly states that Sarai was the half sister of Abram and thus his incestuous wife. It likewise states that Sarai's name was changed to Sarah, and that Abram's name was changed to Abraham. What is likewise interesting, is that the Old Testament Sarai/Sarah was barren: desolate, just like the Sahara after which she was named. Abram and Abraham are synonymous with Abel, all of which mean in Hebrew "Against" (A) - "The Bull" (Bram/Braham/Bel): Against the Light of the Sun. By phonetics, Sarai/Sarah was synonymous with the desert and barrenness: Lilith, and Abram/Abraham was synonymous with darkness and chaos - Seth. Such does not imply, however, guilt or evil on their part: it implies the first stages of creation: amorality, barrenness, darkness and chaos - all being necessary components for the initial birth of spirit's voyage through matter and it's rebirth or return back towards spirit. The 'Red Sirius' anomaly reveals in part the reason why the color red has come to be perceived as the color of lust, rage and sexual immorality, for red is both the color assigned by man to sin, and the color assigned by nature to Venus. The Red Light District of Amsterdam, the book The Scarlet Letter and the use of red lights to denote houses of ill repute are just some examples of man's assimilation of carnal sins with the color red. Other allusions can be drawn from nature regarding the hues of red signifying sin and the fall from grace. In the context of the seasons, in the spring the barren earth sheds its white, snowy veil (the symbol of purity), becomes fertile and produces its bounty, only to turn to barren, reddish hues in the fall. As such, in the annual journey through the life, death and resurrection of the Earth, red is the color assigned to the barren Earth at fall. And in the context of the daily ritual of nature, the dawning of the day is heralded by the Morning Star Sirius shining its brilliant bluish white sparkle, while the milky red hue of the Evening Star Venus marks the setting of the Sun. As such, it is easily surmised that Venus is the cosmological Barren Lady of the Evening, the sunset and the fall, while Sirius is the virtuous, fertile maiden of the dawning of the new day. The terms whore and harlot come from the Egyptian term hor, which in its original definition meant a measured unit of time, as such later lending itself to the word hour. In ancient Egypt, priestesses held stature equal to and, in some instances, higher than, priests. The Egyptian priestess-hood was composed exclusively of members of noble lineage. The High Priestess was titled The Wife of Amun, a station likewise reserved exclusively for the daughters of Pharaohs. Of the priestess-hood's duties, the most significant was the counting of the passing of time throughout the day and night by chanting timed litanies of predetermined length in order to track the passing of sacred time. This was an extremely important duty, as it assured that sacred religious ceremonies were performed at their proper times. As such, in misconstrued context, these women could be referred to as Ladies of the Evening, although in reality they would have had to have been chaste and incorruptible. These priestesses were known as Horologers, that is, priestesses of the hours, and there role was very similar to the latter Greek Vestal Virgins, whom themselves may in fact have been based upon the Egyptian antecedents. This tradition found its was into Christianity in medieval times in the form of the Christian Books of Hours, which were books initially made exclusively for women, and which contained the Hours of the Virgin Mary and devotions to be made during the eight canonical hours of the day in order to mark those precise times. The three western religions of the common era speak well of Abram and his barren cousin-wife (alternately called his half sister-wife) Sarai as the patriarch and matriarch of their faiths, even though many of the actions credited to them are quite immoral in nature on the surface. According to the Book of Genesis, Abram coerces his wife Sarai to pretend she is his sister in order for him to pimp her out to pharaoh. This is a bit of a stretch in itself, in that there was no way to know beforehand whether or not pharaoh would even notice Sarai. Nonetheless, according to Genesis, Abram's plan works, and pharaoh rewards Abram with benefits in exchange for Abram letting pharaoh sleep with Sarai, who unbeknownst to pharaoh was Abram's wife. Once pharaoh realizes that Sarai is Abram's wife, he atones to Abram for his trespass and then banishes them. Nonetheless, in the process, pharaoh enriches Abram with sheep, oxen, asses, male and female slaves, she-asses, and camels. Later on in Genesis (20:1-18), Abraham again attempts to pimp out his wife by pawning her off as his sister to the men of Gerar, but is found out. Abram and Sarai - by then known as Abraham and Sarah - at the age of 86 and 77 years - conspire that Abraham should rape Sarah's maidservant Hagar in order to conceive an heir, only to force Hagar and her son Ishmael to wander aimlessly in the desert when Sarah becomes pregnant some 13-plus years later at the tender age of 90. Still later in Genesis 26:7-10, Abram's son Isaac attempts to do the exact same thing with his wife Rebekah, that Abram did with Sarai in Egypt, again regarding the Philistine men of Gerar. The point of noting this, is that it is apparent that Abram's family's modus operandi was to enrich themselves by pimping out their wives under false pretenses... or was there more to the story than what the Old testament lets on? From a moral perspective, Isaac's son Jacob fairs no better (the truth behind the Jacob's Pillow and Jacob's Ladder explained elsewhere). It's really no wonder that Sarai, Abram and Jacob all changed their names after their deviant acts. In the end, Abraham and his family benefitted greatly from their behavior - with the blessing of their spiritual guardian, referred to in the Old Testament as YHWH/Jehovah/God/El Shaddai. All of that stated, one has to wonder if the spiritual guardian of Abram's lineage was actually a demon. Yet this is what millions of humans around the globe take as literal, historical fact: that the most high God of all - the creator of Heaven and Earth - chose Abraham and Sarah, as well as their offspring, to rule over the nations of the world as the chosen ones. Abraham sounds much more like the Zoroastrian Ahriman than the patriarch of a genuinely good god's chosen lineage: perhaps the two ''terms'' (Abraham and Ahriman) are so close in spelling and phonetics because their actions and thus their underlying mentalities are so similar. Getting back once again to the story of Osiris and Nephthys, the parallels between the much earlier Egyptian tradition and the much later fable of Abram and Sarai are profound. Abram/Abraham (whose name in both renditions is phonetically identical to A-Brahma) is synonymous with Seth. Sarai/Sarah (whose name is phonetically identical to the Sahara, the barren desert of that name) is synonymous with Nephthys. In Egyptian tradition, pharaohs were always assimilated with Osiris. In the Old Testament rendition, it is Seth-Abraham who devises to usurp the nobility by pimping his incestuous sister-wife in order to accuse pharaoh of adultery while simultaneously claiming lineal inheritance to pharaoh's throne through Sarah and her attempt to create an offspring with pharaoh. The name Seth, like its later Hebrew counterpart Satan, means 'accuser'. In reference to the epic of Osiris, the term Seth is used in reference to Seth's accusations regarding Osiris sleeping with Nephthys as part of his bid to usurp him, just as it was, no doubt, Abraham who after pimping his wife to pharaoh under false pretense, in a bid to usurp or compromise pharaoh, accused pharaoh of sleeping with his wife, which led to Abram's and Sarai's banishment from Egypt and the subsequent necessity for them to change their names. In Hebrew as well as most ancient beliefs, to erase someone's name (Damnatio memoriae - the ''condemnation of memory'') was synonymous with destroying that person's very essence. It is worth noting that the act of changing one's name in ancient times was of extreme significance, in that names were considered the very essence of the person whom they reference. That those ancient Hebrews - whom the Old Testament is so dependent upon for its very existence - changed their names, whether voluntarily or not - indicates the ambiance of a necessary cover-up at play.
