Zechariah, the Last Aaronic Kohen GadolThe traditional High Priests of Israel were of the lineage of Moses' brother Aaron, whom both Zechariah and Elizabeth (the parents of John the Baptist) were akin to. During the Herodian Dynasty, the traditional order of Priesthood was in the process of being systemically supplanted in favor of political installments by Herod and his family. This is why, in part, Herod went about attempting to kill off the first-born sons of Israel. The facts surrounding Zechariah's time in the temple and his role as the High Priest, and John the Baptist's conception and birth, show that Zechariah presided over the Jewish High Holy Days at the Second Temple, indicating that he was the true Kohen Gadol (Aaronic High Priest) of his time, whereas many of the other priests (whom Herod installed and whom were not of the lineage of Aaron) were thus called rabbis, which means 'Father' / 'Teacher' in Hebrew. That is why Jesus spoke in length against the priesthood of his latter days, and why he warned the masses against referring to the latter 'priests' as 'fathers (rabbis)'. John the Baptist's birthday is celebrated at the Summer Solstice, meaning that his conception would have taken place nine months prior - at the Vernal Equinox (High Holy Days). As the New Testament attests, it was during the time immediately following Zechariah's service in the Temple, that the Angel Gabriel announced the conception of John the Baptist to him. Zechariah's wife is Elizabeth. The New Testament describes her as ''elder in age'' and ''barren''... Mother Earth. Elizabeth's name breaks down to three basic roots: El Isa Beth: Lord (El) Isis (Isa) of the House (Beth). The physical attributes afforded to Elizabeth are the same as would be attributed to the waning year at the Autumn Equinox, which is likewise symbolized by the Autumn House of Virgo, whose name literally translates to Virgin. It is by no mere coincidence that the sheath of wheat that Virgo holds in her left hand is the star Spica - the Wheat Sheath in the Virgo outstretched hand, which symbolizes Virgo as the House of Bread and as such, Spica as the Star of Beth (House) le hem (of bread)... a reference to being conceived (first-born) in the House (Beth: Womb) of Bread, the House of Virgo (Beth le hem) - not a reference to being natally birthed/berthed (second-born) while the Star Spica was directly overhead. The being ''first-born in Bethlehem'' symbology - as well as the Star of Bethlehem symbolism - both point to an autumn equinox conception, and can in no way whatsoever be reconciled with a Winter Solstice nativity. The term ''birth'' is itself synonymous with the term berth: the nativity of a ''newborn'' child is a berthing into the world from the watery womb of their mother. In fact, why would we use the term ''newborn'' if their was not a previous birth through which the ''newborn'' had not first passed? Because conception is likewise a form of berthing as well: a berthing of a soul from the celestial sphere into the watery matter of the mother's womb. The act of berthing is to tether something from one state or element into another after a voyage in order to give acomodation to. A ship is berthed to land after a voyage on a body of water: a child is berthed into the world after their voyage through their mother's watery womb: and likewise the conception of a soul into mortal matter is a berthing from the celestial element into watery matter. Thus, the Star of Bethlehem was indeed overhead at the time of the Berth (Conception) of the Lord - not at the Winter Solstice, but rather at the Autumn Equinox. Perhaps this is why the people in both of DaVinci's most famous paintings - the Mona L'Isa (Madonna El Isis) and John the Baptist - exhibit nearly identical features.
As for Zechariah, while his name is defined in Hebrew as meaning "Remember (Zechar) Yahweh (Iah)" due to the Hebrews' misunderstanding of the original term from which it is sourced, the truth is that the Hebrew term Zechar is actually derived from the Egyptian term Seker. In Egyptian, Seker was the priestly noble human (Son of God) aspect of the triune deity Ptah-Seker-Osiris (which literally breaks down to "Father (Ptah) - Son (Seker) - Holy Ghost (Osiris)". So here we have the resurrection/Son aspect of Osiris (Zechariah) - representing Divine Spirit, whom is married to Isis (El-Isa-Beth) - representing the Earth during the waning harvest days of the year as well as the waning Age of Aries. The following extract from a Judaic web-page contains clues that elude to a great error made in Judaic tradition regarding mis-contextualization of the term zeker which the Jews appropriated in ignorance from the Egyptians (source: https://dwellcc.org/learning/essays/old-testament-understand-names-god#) "As He appears in the Burning Bush, God continues by expressing His concern for the nation of Israel and tells Moses He has heard their "cry" (Ex. 3:9). Moses' mission is to go and bring His people out of their oppression in Egypt; this in keeping with the covenant that God has already made. Moses responds:
It is of no small significance that God declares, "This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations" (vs. 15). Yahweh is instructing Moses that He is to be known in the context of His everlasting covenant promise, forever. A memorial-name (zeker) is a name which recalls God's great deeds.11 Several psalms use this word and demonstrate that the name, Yahweh, had indeed become synonymous with His covenant actions toward Israel.12
There are many other passages in the Hebrew Old Testament which contain the term Zeker. That said, we are supposed to believe that Yahweh referenced himself to Moses by calling upon the name of the Egyptian deity Seker at the burning bush and upon the Holy Mount in Jerusalem immediately after Moses led his followers out of Egypt, where Seker was widely revered as a supposed deity of the dead? The truth is simple to realize when the proper context is likewise realized: thousands of years before the Hebrews and the Arabs ever entered Egypt, the Egyptian Son of God aspect Seker was celebrated with a three day festival that fell on the three days of the Winter Solstice. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, only consonants were represented. Also, the phonetic sounds that we represent separately today as the S and the Z were represented in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs by one single symbol. This is witnessed in many other words in which the same hieroglyph came to be signified by both the S and the Z: Elizabeth interchanges with Elisabeth, Zechariah is sometimes spelled Sacharias, Zion interchanges with Sion (and Cyon), etc (See http://www.intervoyager.com/hieroglyph_lesson3.htm). The Greeks likewise minced up the name of Seker into Sokar, Sochar (also Zagreus), as well as Socharis, which was later changed to IUSA KRST as an epithet for Osiris' "son" Horus. In its native Geek tongue, IUSA KRST is defined as "Ever-manifesting (Iu - which later became the term Jew) ''Son of Ptah'' (SaKRst)". It is from this Greek epithet for Horus - the Son of Ptah-Osiris (IUSA KRST) - that the term Jesus Christ is itself derived. Thus it can be noticed, that at the time when they were to name John the Baptist, Elizabeth said that he is to be called John: he was not named John - he was to be called John. He could not be named Zechariah at his nativity because his father was the Zechariah at the time. Note the wordplay there: he was to become Zechariah, but was also to be called John. Jesus Christ (IU Zechariah) was to come ''six months after'' John: at the mid-point of the ''day'' of his life. Luke 1: 59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.” 61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.” 62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.” 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God. 65 All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1&version=NIV It goes far deeper than the above: Sakkarah is named after Seker, which in turn lends itself to the Arabic name for the Holy Mount upon which the Dome of the Rock sets (Arabic, al Sakhrah): Seker also lends its name to the Latin words Sacra and Sacre / Sacer, which in turn came to be written as Sacred in English. Likewise, the Greek term Charis (meaning Grace and also the basis of the term Charity) is apparent in the Greek term Socharis. In Catholic tradition, Grace and Mercy are sometimes utilized to signify Jesus and Mary. Still further, as is stated in the book The Phoenecian Origin of Britons Scots & Anglo-Saxons, "Sargon I. whom ruled around 2800 B.C., was also a high-priest whom described himself as a "water-libator" and a devotee Nu-iz-sir (="Nazir") of God - "the Sakhar (or Baptist) Lord" (http://www.jrbooksonline.com/pob/pob_ch19.html). So here we find the root of the name Zechariah translated phonetically through many lands, figures of note and ages, one of which was the Ruler High Priest Sargon I, whom was referred to as "The Sakhar Lord", the term Sakhar denoting Baptism, which was likewise Present in the Epithet for Zechariah's Son (''John'' the Baptist) as well. ***** The main ignorance regarding the Hebrew mis-translation of the word Seker derives from the fact that in ancient Egyptian tradition, the Hall of Seker is said to be located below the Great Pyramid, as he was the aspect of God manifest in the form of the Son for the purpose of absolution of the sins of man through his death and resurrection. The area under the Great Pyramid where this takes place was known as the Hall of Seker, and it was said that the records of mankind from the earliest of days (referred to as Zep-Tepi, or the "First Time") were hidden in this location. Apparently when the Jews spoiled Egypt, they mistakingly (or perhaps purposely) mistranslated the hieroglyphs and thus assimilated the term Zeker as a reference to merely records and memorials that were said to reside within this hall. High Priests and Concubines So John the Baptist was conceived at the Autumn Equinox - the High Holy Days of Judaic tradition - to Zechariah and Elizabeth - while Zechariah was at the Temple presiding over the High Holy Days. Elizabeth ''embodied'' the barren, elder qualities of the autumn equinox - the harvest season, when the earth lays barren and dry. Likewise, Zechariah typifies the elder son, who must go forth as the High Priest into the tomb (Temple) in order to absolve the sins of man. Gabriel comes to Zechariah with the annunciation of John's conception. It is said that Zechariah was in disbelief, and that as a result, Gabriel struck him mute until after the naming of the Baptist was complete. That said, by the time of John's conception, Jewish law had been modified so that a member of each of the twelve tribes would serve as a Kohen (priest), one week at a time, Levi taking two weeks total, with the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) presiding over the Temple at the High Holy Days (Autumn Equinox). By the time of the conception of John, however, the priesthood had become corrupted, so that by Herod's reign priests were often supplanted by political appointees (rabbis), which was seen by pious Jews as a form of divine punishment for the Jews relaxing the Aaronic birthright mandate over the priesthood. That is what brought about conflict between the High Priesthood and Herod in the first place, because the Aaronic lineage did not want Herod further profaning their heritage. For Zechariah (who is always considered at minimum a Priest, and never called a rabbi other than as the father of John the Baptist) to have presided over the Temple at the High Holy Days (Autumn Equinoxes), he would have had to have presided over the Spring Equinoxes as well, as once again, the priesthood had been divided up equally so that each of the priests served one week every thirteen weeks, meaning that the same priest who performed the Autumn Equinox ceremony would have performed Passover ceremony at the following Spring Equinox as well - and interestingly enough, both solstices as well, as such comprising all four cardinal points of the year. In other words, Zechariah would have been at the temple administering rites as the Kohen Gadol when John was conceived, when Jesus was conceived, when John was born, and when Jesus was born. The New Testament states that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, not by God and the Virgin Mary. Again, reading back to previous paragraphs, the third member-aspect of the Egyptian Holy Trinity from which Zechariah's name derives, is the third aspect of the one almighty: the Holy Ghost: the Osiris - or Lazarus (yes- the Lazarus it is claimed Jesus had raised) - aspect, referred to by Gabriel as the Holy Spirit. This is significant because from the point of the conception of John the Baptist, the Seker aspect (Zechariah) had thereafter become the Osiris aspect (Lazarus) also known by the alias Joseph, in order that John ascend to the position of Kohen Gadol as the new Zechariah. This is why the houseful of visitors who were present at the naming ceremony of John were stunned that he was to be called John, which curiously enough marked the precise time when Zechariah "was able to speak again". Note the similarities between Zechariah and Joseph: elder, ashen, and mute/unspoken. Note also that Zechariah disappears just as Joseph appears, and that when Elizabeth, Mary, Jesus and John went into hiding in Egypt with Joseph, Zechariah was conspicuously absent. Joseph signified the cusp between Zechariah (Seker) and Lazarus (Osiris). In order to safeguard the lineage of the High Priesthood, Kohen Gadols whose wives were found to be barren were required to have concubines, which obviously would have been the case regarding Zechariah due to Elizabeth being barren prior to the immaculate conception of John the Baptist. Again, because there were twelve kohens whom presided over the yearly services, whom took weekly turns throughout the year, the same Kohen Gadol whom presided over the High Holy Days would thus preside over the week of the Spring Equinoxes. This places Zechariah in the Temple as the High Priest at the Vernal Equinox following John's conception, albeit ''muted'' by his being rebuked by Gabriel. This time of year is worthy of note, because it is when Jesus would have been conceived in order for him to have been born nine months later at the Winter Solstice. Again we have an annunciation proclaimed by Gabriel. That said, the wife of a Kohen Gadol usually accompanied him to the Temple and stayed with him while he performed his services, usually in the base of the holy mount that the temple was situated upon (thus the Knights Templar's excavations in the 'Stables of Solomon' at the base of the Holy Mount in Jerusalem). However, in the case of the Spring Equinox following John's conception, Elizabeth would have been six months pregnant, and as such she would not have accompanied Zechariah to temple when he went to perform his services. Thus it would have been expected that he would have traveled with his concubine, acting in the capacity of a surrogate wife, whom would have been of the same or a similar bloodline as his wife - whom undoubtedly would have accompanied him to the temple. It is beyond a doubt that the two conceptions would have both taken place within the temple, as temples (including the Great Pyramid) were considered the axis mundis (sacred wombs) of the world, where God interacts with chosen humans at certain key times of the year - notably the solstices and equinoxes. This would place the Virgin Mary (herself a symbol of the House of Bread to come - Virgo - the celestial elder yet eternally virginal woman likewise personified by Elizabeth) at the Holy Temple at the Spring Equinox, where Zechariah would have served as the Kohen Gadol at that same exact time, and where Gabriel would have announced the conception of Jesus, exactly six months after the conception of John to Elizabeth. As such it is worth noting that right after Mary became pregnant, she went directly to Elizabeth's house (note that the New Testament calls it Elizabeth's house as if to intentionally minimize the fact that it is in reality Zechariah's house). Of course Mary would: Mary accompanied Zechariah to the temple, so it is only reasonable to surmise that after he had performed his services, that she would accompany him back home. In conclusion, what I have previously alluded to, I will make clear here: Mary and Elizabeth were two aspects of Virgo: the Autumn Equinox Elder, Barren Earth, and the Virgin Earth at the Spring Equinox. Zechariah and Joseph were two aspects of the Dying Son-Sun, and Jesus and John were two aspects of one and the same person: one conceived at the last Autumn Equinox of the waning Age of Aries, and one born at the first Spring Equinox of the waxing Age of Pisces... two aspects of one entity, the older aspect that must decreaseth in order that the new aspect increaseth. John was Jesus first-born, and Jesus was John reborn. Much more to come...
