JESUS CHRIST
The one thing we can say with certainty about
Jesus Christ is that he was not born on Christmas Day. As to when he was
born, there are any number of theories to choose from. The Reverend
Pamela Crane, a church deacon and astrologer who is also married to a bishop,
has done a lot of research into establishing this date and time for her
own researches, and favours 7 May 5BC, just after sunset. She has written
a book, 'The Birth of Christ', Shoestring, 1994, on the subject. The Great
Pyramid is alleged to record the date as 5 October 4 BC OS ('The Great Pyramid',
Davidson), with the Sun at 11 degrees Libra (Good Friday is given as 7
April 30 AD NS, when there was a New Moon in Libra).
Astronomers, however, are gradually uniting behind
12 September 7BC New Style, because of the "new star of Bethlehem",
thought to be the conjunction between Jupiter
(representing the Messiah) and Saturn (the God of Israel) in Pisces, which
happens only every 900 years, on the night they rose at sunset in Bethlehem.
In the chart shown here in Old Style calendar, the "New Star" is shown
symbolically on the midheaven, directly above Bethlehem.
The constellation Crux, now known as the Cross (or Southern Cross),
incidentally, was last seen on the horizon of Jerusalem (31 46.45 N) at the time
Christ was crucified.
