The Star of Bethlehem

There is something more American politicians need to be informed about that is going to affect their future that didn’t, specifically, come out at the Restore Honor rally. Moreover, the Tea Party is merely scratching the surface.

From Matthew 2:1-12, on the visit of the Magi, in the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.'" Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage." When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another path.

On the History Channel yesterday, I learned that the Magi were Persian astrologers, and that they would have been aware that the planets Jupiter and Saturn were in “triple conjuction”, an astrological term, at the time of Jesus’ birth. A triple conjunction foretells of something significant about to happen. BTW, Jupiter and Saturn are in triple conjunction in August 2010. History Channel noted that in this time frame, around the time of the birth of Jesus, Jupiter, in the constellation Pisces, appeared to stop in forward movement. At least it appears that way, because of our planet’s movement. It is thought by students of the Star of Bethlehem that Jupiter could be the star in the east.

We know that “on earth as in heaven” that planetary alignment and the archetypal patterns of human history are consistent. Astrologers tell us that Jesus was born at the beginning of the Age of Pisces (when the Star of Bethlehem stopped in the constellation Pisces), and that the Age of Pisces is now ending. Astrologers tell us we are entering the Age of Aquarius, and that Aquarius, whose symbol is the water-bearer, will be an age of brotherhood. The Bible predicts a second coming of Jesus, who preached that we are our brother’s keeper.

Something significantly big happened on August 28, 2010. Between 350,000 and 650,000 concerned Americans gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on the day 47 years ago that Martin Luther King was at the Lincoln Memorial delivering his “I have a dream” speech. This time it was conservative Fox News’ Glenn Beck telling his audience that America must now get about restoring her honor, to believe in faith, hope, and charity, to trust in God. Strange talk coming from a media man. An astounding man of faith people cannot help but admire, or fear, Beck is a great threat to the world’s control.

Glenn told his audience at Lincoln Memorial that he is a recovering alcoholic, that he had no faith in himself or his future; that when he was at rock bottom he looked within and found God. Many of Doctor King’s following, namely the liberation theology people—Obama, the Rev. Wright, and millions of like-minded Christians who believe one cannot be saved until everyone is saved; that is, collectively saved, resent conservative capitalist Glenn picking Martin Luther King as an icon of freedom. To them King’s legend is about redistribution of wealth: down with God-given rights spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. Theirs, the ideology of powerful government and zero individual rights, Glenn says it was an act of Providence that he was at the Lincoln Memorial delivering his message on August 28th. He had planned another day. I’d like to remind the believers in collective salvation, those attached to big, powerful government, that government once gave black Americans zero rights.

My rising sign, the time on the eastern horizon of the astrologer’s zodiac when the sun rises, the exact time and place of my birth—when the sun rose on me—turns out to be Aquarius. My rising sign, therefore, is Aquarius. The rising sign is the part of me I show the world. According to astrologers, as I age I become more Aquarius,

When I was age 49, my business career and my second marriage went on the rocks. Like Glenn, I had no faith in myself or my future. Being born Aquarius rising, my ruling planet Uranus, from the time of my birth, Uranus had transited to a position opposing itself when I was born. This position is indicative of change. It wasn’t planned, but I departed my old life on Good Friday, 1975. I arrived in Miami, Florida on Easter Sunday for the first day of my new life, which, the same as Glenn Beck’s life, now has meaning. If my life could be any better today I don’t know how.

Someone reading my posts sent me a book entitled The Great Controversy: The Storm Is Approaching. Glenn Beck to his Lincoln Memorial audience said, “the storm is approaching.” Glenn says he doesn’t believe in coincidences. Coincidental with Beck’s stated thoughts, my new life began from the thought, after studying the U. S. Constitution, that I should have faith in myself and trust in God. Voices of the past were speaking to me. Coincidentally, Beck and I say to look within for your answers. Discover the power that lies within you. I listened to Dr. King’s niece at Beck’s Restoring Honor rally tell the audience that she has a dream that we will become one human race. From the comments of those who came to Beck’s rally, I judge that a great many Americans must be hearing voices of the past speaking to them.

There are other voices. At the same time that black Alveta King, Dr. King’s niece, told white America at the Lincoln Mermorial her positive dream, black Reverend Sharpton told black America, “we ain’t giving up.” Sharpton calls white America, in so many words, racist. Obama says the Constitution gives Americans “negative freedoms.” You have a choice of who to believe.

With Jesus’ coming at the beginning of the Age of Pisces, the symbol of which is two fish swimming in opposite directions, indicative of division—Jesus was crucified—and the Age of Aquarius now upon us, the symbol of which is the water-bearer to humanity, an age of brotherhood (of all races and creeds) approaching, Glenn and I say we can disagree on much but it is incumbent upon the American people to look within and find the God that unites,

Those united in God’s will are Indicative of Christ’s second coming. On earth as it is in heaven, my star in the east (my rising sign) connects with the gospel truth, and to people of all colors and faiths. Believe in your individual God-self, your eternal spirit, and the life you so desire will be yours.
