The Garden of Eden
(All associated pictures have been hidden from the Mobile Version of this article.)
Let me start with this; I’d like you to think of The Garden of Eden. Please consider the environment, which stimulated the five senses of Adam and Eve in those first days, the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches. Dwell on the climate they experienced as they walked about The Garden. What comes to your mind?
Let’s see if we’re on the same page, here is a word picture from my imagination.
“I see The Garden of Eden as a lush, tropical paradise with a gentle breeze wafting tempting fruit fragrances, mild temperatures and perfect humidity. Deep, vibrant colors flood the landscape in every direction. The sounds of perfect harmony resonate between the kingdoms of man, plants, insects, birds and animals. Every touch is that of an embrace which draws one in. Every food explodes in the mouth with tongue piercing delicious flavor. Peace permeates every corridor, serenity reigns supreme. There is not a single element of The Garden of Eden’s environment that would have given Adam and Eve a moment’s worth of pause. Adam and Eve knew innocence intimately; they had no concerns whatsoever. Every need was provided for. The Garden of Eden would have been full of life and yet tranquil to the soul!”
Does your concept of The Garden of Eden match what I just described? I would be very surprised if we didn’t at least share some common ground in our understanding of what The Garden of Eden was like. I think most of us imagine The Garden of Eden was a ‘stable sanctuary’ for Adam and Eve. (By the way, I don’t think Adam and Eve would have been blonde haired, blue eyed Caucasians as depicted in the painting!)
Although Adam and Eve were exiled from The Garden of Eden after the forbidden fruit episode in order to keep them from eating from The Tree of Life, The Garden of Eden itself continued to exist. Even though THE ALMIGHTY curses the ground which they will now have to work in order to grow food to eat outside The Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:17-19 I can still imagine the environment of the Pre-Flood world to be much, much more favorable than it is today.
What Changed?
In The Garden of Eden there were no flood producing heavy rain storms, no lightning, no thunder, no hail, no high winds, no tornados, no hurricanes, no scorching high temperatures, no drought, no freezing cold temperatures, no snow, no ice, no blizzards, no chaotic weather of any kind.
Today however, our weather seems to become more extreme with every passing year! We are far removed from what we all seem to understand The Garden of Eden and Pre-Flood world to have been. It leads me to ask, “What changed?” Of course we know the change came about ultimately because of sin, which resulted in the curse and man’s evil inclination, which resulted in The Flood of Noah. But since The Flood, what has been the mechanism of change? Why hasn’t the Earth returned to the ‘stable sanctuary’ of the Pre-Flood period? Have you ever thought about it? These seem to be legitimate questions, why haven’t we been asking them? Have we been brainwashed? Have we been so indoctrinated that we don’t even consider asking these questions? I think it’s time to do a little thinking and step beyond the institutionalized box we’ve been confined to. Let’s think for ourselves in the freedom needed to gain fresh insight. The answers to these questions will open up new vistas of possibility. A new understanding of our universe, galaxy, solar system and the history of our planet Earth await our rising up to demand common sense answers. What we’ll find is the reconciliation of several disciplines of study; a resonant harmony begins to be heard. What we’ll find is that these answers reach to the core of our faith in the Creator and His plan which has been unfolding over the last 6 Millennia. We may even open doors of new understanding to things that have yet to happen. Buckle up… this could be a wild ride! As The Equinoxes ~ Past? Present! & Future? unfolds you’ll begin to realize answers to the questions I’m asking and maybe even a few you’ve been asking! Before I get to those answers though I’d like to provide you with a little context for why I’m asking these questions in the first place and writing this article. I’m hoping you’ll accept this invitation to spend some time ‘outside the box’ in Ken’s World! Enjoy!
My Journey In Time
A few years ago I adopted the Lunar Sabbath method of marking the ‘Appointed Times’. In the last year, as I have kept my mind open to new truths, I also adopted the Full Moon as the beacon for the beginning of Months. A short time later I also adopted the Full Moon rising with the constellation Virgo in the Spring as the beginning of The New Year. Virgo, the Virgin who holds a ‘sheaf of barley’ in her left hand and a ‘palm branch’ in her right hand is the 1st constellation of the Mazzaroth described in E. W. Bullinger’s book ‘The Witness of the Stars’ and lends itself as a natural signpost in the heavens to begin The New Year and ‘HIStory’ recorded in the celestial extension of the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane. This is the first year I have observed the Full Moon and Virgo rising together to mark The New Year and frankly the switch has left me wondering if I have made a mistake for the simple reason it has pushed all of my observations of ABBA’s Annual Feasts back to rather late dates, at least according to what I have been accustomed to keeping. Yet, they remain well within the parameters of Spring, Summer and Autumn. This has been an issue of great consternation for me, there has been the temptation to vacillate, nonetheless in the end I have stayed the course and moved forward based on the simple realization that I have finally incorporated the stars of Genesis 1:14-19 as ‘signs’ in my method of reckoning the Moedim of YHWH. This truly has been an extraordinary time in my life, but… it has separated me from most other believers. The path I walk has become very narrow and I find few people willing to walk it with me as you might also imagine! Let’s allow Genesis 1:14-19 to speak for itself. For me, all the arguments ‘begin and end’ right here!
And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. God made the two great lights --- the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night --- and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. (Genesis 1:14-19 NRSV Emphasis mine)
Note… It is the ‘light’ of the Sun and the ‘light’ of the Moon, which is the ‘sign’, not the celestial bodies of the Sun and Moon themselves! Neither First Visible Crescent nor Dark Moon Conjunction fulfills the qualifier, ‘two great lights’. Only the bright light of the Full Moon qualifies as the lesser of the two great lights!
A Moment of Clarity
This then brings me to why I am writing this article and asking these questions. Recently I was answering questions I was being asked in a Lunar Sabbath Facebook group that I administrate. Naturally, the person I was dealing with had a completely different perspective on the spectrum of contentious calendar issues, one of which was when to begin The New Year. When I began to type my answer into the comment section I had no idea I was about to share thoughts I had never considered before, I was literally putting them into print as they came to my mind! I was operating totally within the realm of logic and possibility. Since then I have searched the Scriptures and am pleased to have found solid reasons to believe the Scriptures do indeed support the spontaneous response which came to my consciousness that day.
I’m sure you can easily imagine when discussing the beginning of The New Year the Vernal Equinox becomes a focal point. Ignoring the multitudes that use the Gregorian calendar, almost all other people use The New Moon in conjunction with the Vernal Equinox to mark their New Year.
There are those who use The New Moon ‘prior’ to the Vernal Equinox…
There are those who use The New Moon ‘closest’ to the Vernal Equinox… and…
There are those who use The New Moon ‘after’ the Vernal Equinox…
As you can see there is no consensus view regarding how to mark the beginning of The New Year via the Equinox. Multiply that number by the different phases people use as New Moon, i.e. First Visible Crescent, Dark Moon Conjunction, Full Moon and more, and you can begin to see the chaos that ensues! To the left you see a beautiful piece of artwork, a pretty little piece titled ‘Vernal Equinox’ by Iribel. We often speak of Ishtar being celebrated at the Vernal Equinox but in our heads we’re thinking Easter, which is only ‘near’ the Vernal Equinox. But in this artwork Ishtar IS the Vernal Equinox! How pagan is that! This painting is an unequivocal condemnation of the Vernal Equinox as being a stronghold of paganism! The confusion of how people choose to use The New Moon in conjunction with the Vernal Equinox is only the beginning of the problem of course, there are other unscriptural methods such as the Aviv Barley search which has nothing to do with Genesis 1:14 and adds to the mayhem but that is for another day.
So… What does The Garden of Eden have to do with the Equinoxes? I normally defend my use of the Full Moon rising with the constellation Virgo as the beginning of The New Year based simply on the fact that it is the only method I know of which incorporates the use of the stars as a mechanism to measure and mark time. Although we may recognize and expect certain constellations to appear in our nighttime skies at certain seasons of the year, most Lunar Sabbath observers really don’t use them to set any part of our calendar in a specific way, which is an important point to note. But as I began to defend my use of the Full Moon rising with the constellation Virgo as the beginning of my New Year I began attacking the use of the Vernal Equinox.
Why?
Because I began to think of The Garden of Eden and I couldn’t imagine the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter as part of a ‘stable sanctuary’ which I imagine the Garden of Eden to have been, or for that matter, any place on the Earth up to the time of The Flood of Noah! I began to realize if there was only one season for the entire year, which was tropical in nature, then the Earth’s North and South Poles could not have been tilted 23.5° from a perpendicular angle to the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane from the beginning of Creation! The reason being of course that our four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, which contribute to the chaotic weather patterns we endure today, ‘are a result’ of the Earth’s tilted North and South Poles in relationship to the Ecliptic Plane of the Sun.
My reasoning, then, goes like this,
‘If’ The Garden of Eden had only one ‘climatological season’ ‘then’ the Earth’s North and South Poles were originally perpendicular to the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane…
‘If’ the Earth’s North and South Poles were originally perpendicular to the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane ‘then’ the Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemisphere both had only one ‘climatological season’ in the beginning of Creation…
‘If’ the Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemisphere both had only one ‘climatological season’ in the beginning of Creation ‘then’ there were no Equinoxes in the beginning of Creation…
‘If’ there were no Equinoxes in the distant Past? AND ‘if’ there will be no Equinoxes in the near Future? ‘then’ why would anyone use today’s Equinoxes to mark the beginning of our New Years in the Present!??? Selah! (Think about it!)
Scriptural Confirmation
But… Does Scripture back me up? As I mentioned above I believe it does. I hope you’ll find this interesting! The first mention of ‘seasons’ in our ‘English translations’ is found in Genesis 1:14.
And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years.” (Genesis 1:14 NRSV Emphasis mine)
I have seen a Young Earth Creationist of prominent stature and reputation (I am one myself and an ardent one at that!) argue that the Hebrew word ‘mo`ed’ being translated as ‘season’ here means more than the Hebrew Holy Days. That it also means the four ‘climatological seasons’ of our present years.
So, should the Hebrew word ‘mo`ed’ be translated as ‘seasons’ in Genesis 1:14? I seriously doubt it. There are 7 Annual Feasts of THE CREATOR divided into,
3 Spring Feasts… 1 Summer Feast… and 3 Autumn Feasts…
But… there are no Winter Feasts and therefore I find it difficult to believe the Hebrew word ‘mo`ed’ here being translated as ‘seasons’ is a reference to Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
In Genesis 1:14 the Hebrew word ‘mo`ed’ is intended to speak of the ‘Appointed Times’, the Feasts of YHWH. In Leviticus 23, which is the chapter of Scripture which proclaims the Feasts of YHWH, this same Hebrew word ‘mo`ed’, which is Strong’s H4150, is used 6 times describing the weekly Sabbath and the 7 Annual Feasts of YHWH. That being the case, when would you expect to see any of the ‘climatological seasons’ first mentioned in Scripture? Are you ready for this? The first mention of the ‘climatological seasons’ is found in Genesis 8:21-22 where the Scriptures record for us what YHWH said in His own heart immediately…
“Wait for it!”
AFTER THE FLOOD!
“I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, for the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done. As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:21-22 NRSV Emphasis mine)
I find that fascinating! It is not until immediately ‘AFTER’ The Flood of Noah that the ‘climatological seasons’ are mentioned!
So, what do you think? Coincidence??? Random Chance???
I think this strengthens my premise that the Earth’s North and South Poles were not tilted in the beginning of Creation and that the four seasons came into existence at the time of The Flood of Noah when the Earth’s North and South Poles would have begun to tilt due to the catastrophic events that took place at that time. The inclination of the Poles has also resulted in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere keeping the Feasts of YHWH in opposite ‘climatological seasons’ which the inclination of the Poles created; everything is now backwards in the land down under! The Southern Hemisphere is forced to keep the Spring Feasts in the Autumn, the Summer Feast in the Winter and the Autumn Feasts in the Spring! Keep in mind these are ‘harvest festivals’. This is obviously unacceptable! My guess is; those who live in the Southern Hemisphere are more mindful of that than we are in the North.
The End of Paganism?
There is one more notable thing to take into consideration here. Today’s pagan Sun God and Fertility Goddess worship is centered around the Winter Solstice and Vernal Equinox. If the Earth’s North and South Poles began to tilt during The Flood of Noah, which brings about the Equinox and Solstice events, when should we expect to see these pagan forms of worship develop in Scripture? Isn’t it interesting that in Genesis chapter 10, verses 8-12, we’re introduced to none other than Nimrod and his great feats! Let’s read what the Scriptures have to say,
“Cush became the father of Nimrod; he was the first on earth to become a mighty warrior. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the LORD.” The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar. From that land he went into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.” (Genesis 10:8-12 NRSV)
Nimrod and The Tower of Babel, recorded for us in Genesis 11, is nearly the next thing the Scriptures tell us about after the first mention of the climatological seasons ‘AFTER THE FLOOD’! In other words, nearly as soon as the Equinox and Solstice came into existence as The Flood Waters of Noah receded, paganism finds it’s toehold and birthplace in the Plains of Shinar with the building of the Tower of Babel under the rulership of Nimrod.
“Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:1-4 NRSV)
Isn’t that fascinating! It is not until immediately ‘AFTER’ The Flood of Noah that paganism rears it’s ugly head!
So, what do you think? Coincidence??? Random Chance???
Note… ‘Semiramis’, the wife of Nimrod, is a Hellenized form of the Sumerian name ‘Sammur-amat’. The intitial element ‘sammur’ when translated into Hebrew becomes ‘Shinar’, i.e. ‘the land of Shinar’ can be understood as ‘the land of Semiramis’!
In Nimrod, Semiramis and the Tower of Babel, we see the pagan root of corruption that HaSatan has cast upon all the people of the world. A thorough understanding of Nimrod becoming the pagan’s Sun God along with Semiramis becoming the pagan’s Queen of Heaven, the Mother of all Gods, the Fertility Goddess, who is worshipped at the Vernal Equinox (Ishtar ~ Easter) and Tammuz the offspring of Nimrod, the Sun God and Semiramis, the Queen of Heaven who is ‘reborn’ at every Winter Solstice (Saturnalia ~ Christmas) will highlight the significance of what I am trying to convey here. These three, Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz have many different names according to the many different cultures that acknowledge the gods that preceded them. This morphology confuses their true identity but it’s all the same, its pagan sun god and fertility goddess worship. Beware; it all revolves around the tilted Poles!
My reasoning, then again, goes like this,
‘If’ the Earth’s North and South Poles were perpendicular to the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane prior to The Flood of Noah ‘then’ there were no Equinoxes and Solstices ‘for paganism to fix itself to’ in the beginning of Creation…
‘If’ there were no Equinoxes and Solstices ‘for paganism to fix itself to’ in the beginning of Creation ‘then’ there will be no Equinoxes and Solstices ‘for paganism to ‘remain’ fixed to’ in the restoration of the Creation…
‘If’ there will be no Equinoxes and Solstices ‘for paganism to ‘remain’ fixed to’ in the restoration of the Creation ‘then’ THE ALMIGHTY will have thrust a huge dagger into the heart of paganism!!! Selah! (Think about it!)
HIStory
The naming of the stars and the constellations along with developing the storyline of HIStory, the prophetic story of Redemption, recorded in the stars is attributed to Seth and Enoch, some even include Adam. Today, those same constellations of the Mazzaroth on the Ecliptic Plane of the Sun wander like a drunkard across the nighttime sky through the course of the year, I can’t imagine Seth, Enoch and Adam ever having chosen them. At the extremes of the Summer and Winter Solstices the greatest story ever told and recorded in the stars becomes a schizophrenic side show losing contact with the world below. Listing first to the North, then to the South, could this really have been what Seth, Enoch and Adam had in mind? Wouldn’t it have been better to develop the storyline according to constellations along the Equatorial Plane of the Earth? Wouldn’t they have chosen constellations which faithfully rose above the Eastern Horizon night after night, an entire circuit of constellations, demanding the attention of everyone looking heavenward, which always and continually rose before them as the ‘Main Attraction’ directly in the strength of the East? But… what if… the Equatorial Plane of the Earth… was… the Ecliptic Plane of the Sun? Could the two have been one and the same? A ‘united plane’ back ‘once upon a time’ when Seth, Enoch and Adam looked heavenward? Once the Earth’s Poles are restored the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane and the Earth’s Equatorial Plane will once again unite and the constellations of the Mazzaroth will return to ‘Center Stage’ where they belong for all the world to see as they narrate HIStory beginning with Virgo! Here is an interesting quote from E.W. Bullinger’s book ‘The Witness of the Stars’.
“But where are we to begin to read this wondrous Heavenly Scroll? A circle has proverbially neither beginning nor end. In what order then are we to consider these signs? In the heavens they form a never-ending circle. Where is the beginning and where is the end of this circle through which the sun is constantly moving? Where are we to break into this circle? and say, This is the commencement. It is clear that unless we can determine this original starting point we can never read this wondrous book aright. As I have said, the popular beginning today is with Aries, the Ram. But comparing this Revelation with that which was afterwards written “in the Volume of the Book,” Virgo is the only point where we can intelligently begin, and Leo is the only point where we can logically conclude. Is not this what is spoken of as the unknown and insoluble mystery—“The riddle of the Sphinx”? The word “Sphinx” is from to bind closely together. It was therefore designed to show where the two ends of the Zodiac were to be joined together, and where the great circle of the heavens begins and ends. The Sphinx is a figure with the head of a woman and the body of a lion! What is this but a never-ceasing monitor, telling us to begin with Virgo and to end with Leo! In the Zodiac in the Temple of Esneh, in Egypt, a Sphinx is actually placed between the Signs of Virgo and Leo…” (Page 25 Emphasis mine)
If I’m not mistaken the Great Sphinx is the largest sculpted monument on the planet. How interesting is it that this megalithic monument marks the beginning of The New Year with HIStory of a coming Redeemer via a Virgin and the end of The Old Year via the conquering Lion King! An extremely interesting point to note here is the ‘Great Sphinx’ is chiseled from stone facing directly East!
HalleluYAH!!! …Of course the Great Sphinx is facing East! It’s gaze is fixed on the Eastern Horizon awaiting the rise of Leo to mark the end of The Old Year and then witness Virgo accompanied by the Full Moon rising together to mark The New Year! The Great Sphinx faces East because that is the direction one must look to see the Full Moon rise with Virgo to mark the 1st Month of The New Year just as the Full Moon rises to mark every New Month, the Great Sphinx could care less about anything that takes place on the Western Horizon, especially on the morning after. Why do I say that? Because there are a few people who teach the Full Moon must be seen above the Western Horizon after the Sun has risen the morning after the Full Moon was seen rising as the Sun set the evening before in order to mark the 1st Day of the New Month. They say this is a second witness, which confirms the first witness observed the evening before. There were two problems with this and now three! The first problem is half the time the Full Moon can’t be seen after the Sun has risen the following morning. It has already set! This inconsistency has no place in The Master’s Clock. The second problem is YHWH does not need a second witness! YHWH conditions a second witness upon men for settling disputes between men since all men are liars! To say that YHWH needs to provide a second witness is an assault upon His character. The third problem is, as the picture above demonstrates, the Great Sphinx faces East and could care less about the Full Moon setting on the Western horizon!
My money is on Enoch having ‘ram rodded’ the Great Sphinx’s design and construction during the Pre-Flood era before Egypt was Egypt! It is an immovable, landmark monument, which acknowledges The Timepiece of Heaven by looking to the stars! It has withstood the test of time, enduring even The Flood of Noah; it simply will not go away! I would have to question the integrity of anyone who can look at this picture and deny the possibility that the damage sustained on both the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx was caused by The Flood of Noah. Pictures from the 1800’s show the Great Sphinx nearly completely buried with only its head sticking out of the sand. That of course can be explained by drifting sand blown by the wind but look at the Great Pyramid behind the Great Sphinx, there are literally thousands of tons of surface stone removed from the pyramid, it is claimed these surface stones have been stolen away after a great earthquake shook them loose in the 1300’s. That may well be the case but I have a difficult time believing The Flood of Noah hadn’t already loosened the stones prior to the earthquake damage. I have read reports of the Great Pyramid’s surface stones being water stained, these reports being recorded before the surface stones were removed from the pyramid and of sea salt in the chambers inside the Great Pyramid. It certainly sounds like the Great Pyramid endured The Flood of Noah. I have been asked to give more support for my conclusion that Enoch has had a part in the construction of the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx and if I knew of anything other than pure speculation I would provide it! Nevertheless, I have provided a link in the Materials Resource List for those who are interested. The problem is that all we have after hundreds of years of research into who built them, why they were built, how they were built and when they were built is nothing more than speculation. There are no consensus views. The Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx remain enigmas. But why? In my mind (more speculation), because they were constructed Pre-Flood and all records of the amazing civilization which constructed these great monuments have been destroyed, the who, why, how and when remain unanswered. We literally know next to nothing beyond knowing they exist! Which reminds me of Enoch, who remains an enigma as well. I think the Great Sphinx has Enoch’s name written all over it!
This article is striking right at the heart of today’s Enochian calendar, which is anchored to the Equinoxes. Accordingly, its proponents want to call the equinoxes and solstices ‘tequfah’, which is Hebrew for ‘turn of the year’. How ironic is it that the monuments of Enoch completely undermine the calendar that bears his very own name? We must look to the stars of the Mazzaroth for tequfah. If Enoch had a hand in developing the story of Redemption recorded in the stars and had a hand in developing the Great Pyramid complex along with the Great Sphinx ‘before’ The Flood of Noah when Enoch lived, then Enoch would not even have had the equinoxes and solstices as mechanisms to use in his calendar! In my mind, ‘Enoch took the Equinoxes out of the Equation’ before the Equinoxes existed! Can you imagine when Enoch and King David meet each other for the first time in the future? They hold something in common in that people over the course of time have used them to promote beliefs that I am confident would appall them both. I seriously doubt either of these guys is going to be pleased with what’s been done in their names! If what is being presented in this article is true then it forces us to two conclusions regarding The Book of Enoch, either… 1) the book is a total forgery which Enoch has no knowledge of… or… 2) the book was originally written by Enoch, carried through The Flood on the ark by Noah and was then corrupted by some Post-Flood writer who was a witness to the newly existing equinoxes. In either case it is obvious to me that today’s Book of Enoch cannot be relied upon for any aspect of restoring the true Timepiece of Heaven as though it were ‘time in a bottle’ having survived The Flood!
I do wonder though if our observance of the Full Moon rising in the constellation Virgo is specific enough, to me it is still a bit vague. It would seem to me that we need a single point of light, a star, located in Leo to rise above the Eastern Horizon thereby marking the end of The Old Year before the Full Moon rises with Virgo after the Sun has set to announce The New Year. There is an overlap between the constellations Leo and Virgo on the Ecliptic Plane of about 10°, it is within this overlap that the beginning and the end of the Mazzaroth are seamlessly knit together. The eastern most star of the constellation Leo is the star named ‘Denebola’ and it is the 2nd or 3rd brightest star in Leo and the 62nd or 63rd brightest star in the Celestial Sphere so it is easily visible to the naked eye and is located within this 10° joining of the two ends of the Mazzaroth. The commentaries also speak of a star in Leo named ‘Sarcam’ which actually means ‘to join’. It is understood to be the star by which the end and the beginning of the Mazzaroth are joined together. Obviously Sarcam must also be located within this 10° overlap but the commentaries simply refer to it as ‘unidentified’. How can that be? How can a star of such importance lose its identity?
This leads me to wonder if Sarcam is the name of a separate star, which has lost its identity, or whether Sarcam could be the ‘title’ of a known star? If that were the case then I would think the bright star Denebola would qualify as ‘The Sarcam Star’ beneath which the Full Moon must rise (in Virgo) to mark The New Year. If Denebola is The Sarcam Star which ‘joins’ then it is ‘the beginning and the end’ of the Zodiac…
The Aleph~Tav of the Mazzaroth!!!
Get this… Denebola means ‘judge’ or ‘Lord who cometh’!!! Oh HalleluYAH!!! Once again, I’ve written literally as the thoughts and words have come to me!!! Thank you ABBA!!!
As the very last star of Leo to be easily seen rising above the horizon Denebola is a perfect candidate to be used as a specific line of division between The Old and New Year. That would get us to an extremely narrow window of demarcation with simple visual observation from any high location, which gives an extended view of the horizons. As I am sure you can see, there must be a restoration of the Earth’s Poles to a 90° angle to the Sun’s Ecliptic Plane in order for YHWH’s Creation to once again be in harmony with itself or as He said in the beginning, Very Good!
Here, once again, for emphasis sake is the key point of this article…
‘If’ there were no Equinoxes in the distant ‘Past?’ AND ‘if’ there will be no Equinoxes in the near ‘Future?’ ‘then’ why would anyone use today’s Equinoxes to mark the beginning of our New Years in the ‘Present!’??? Selah! (Think about it!)
