Update May 17th, in case of a delayed new Moon sighting (likely, at a mere 0,7 % on May 20th) a second slide of week 1 of Sivan is added, where a corrected day count is displayed
The main message of this article, as always, is to be ready spiritually, for the Lord is at the door. He will come shortly, to rescue his overcomers and the innocent in Christ, but also to discipline the lukewarm, the wayward, and the lost as he calls them to wholeheartedly repent, trust, and obey Him.
The Heavens Declare | Overview May 17-25
Zooming in on May 19-21 | Reunited with our Lord
The Sun and Moon become one or echad, before the first crescent is expected and Sun arrives at the Pleiades
John’s visitation to the throne room in Revelation 1 makes references to the Sun’s position in conjunction with the Pleiades in Taurus, as the solar servant candle without shadows standing before the 7 candlesticks of the seven churches, likened to the 7-armed Temple Menorah. The Pleiades, the ancient celestial harbinger of spring, heralded the morning of the year, when darkness is turned into dawn and winter shadows and cold make way (ref. in Amos 5):
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire (holy, purifying fire, burning off our chalf and aimed against those who touch the apple of his eye, his bride); 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars (the Pleiades, 7 churches on Taurus’s back which are gazed upon by Aries, depicting the Lord with hair white as wool): and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength (the conjunction of the Sun with the Pleiades in Taurus marked the beginning of spring, summer being ‘nigh even at the doors’).17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last (Taurus speaks of the Lord’s finished work, his complete redemption consummated in triumph, by the sacrificed red heifer, the Alpha or Aleph and Omega or Tav, marked out by the Bull horns).
May 19 | Echad
Sol-O-Mon
On May 19th, the Moon bride and solar Bridegroom will become ‘echad’ (as one, embedded in the name Sol-o-mon) at 18:54 IDT, the time marker of the astronomical new Moon (the monthly dark phase). During this conjunction, the solar bridegroom will fully cover the lunar bride in his glorious rays, flanked by the hidden jewels of the Pleiades in Taurus, the constellation that denotes the Lord’s coming to both rescue and judge. The Pleiades cluster on the Bull’s back is also known as ‘a heap’, ‘a cup’, ‘a flock of doves’, and as ‘the Lord’s jewels’. Enoch refers to the seven stars in 1 Enoch 18:13-14 as the location when rebellious angels are bound, which runs parallel Revelation 8:8. The Pleiades cluster is also associated with ‘wind filled sails’ and ‘fulness’ (in Hebrew, Chaldean), and with the word ‘sukkoth’ or booths (Syriac). The spring harvest reunion of the bride and groom is reminiscent of Boaz covering his bride to be Ruth under his talit (his prayer shawl or ‘wings’) near the barley threshing floor (a heap of grain, like the Pleiades heap).
Bridal overcomers who, like Ruth, have found shelter under their Lord’s wings and abide in him until ‘matters are taken care of at the gate’ by the greater Kinsman Redeemer, will be the recipients of eternal promises, provided they endure and finish their race. Scripture relays they will be given eternal closeness with our Lord, in addition to being gifted the fruit of the tree of life (Revelation 2:7). They shall not be hurt by the second death (spiritual death, Revelation 2:11) and will be given power over the nations and become co-regents with Christ, ruling by his delegated authority with a rod of iron, in his righteousness. They will be given ‘the morning star’, the ultimate award of closeness with Christ himself (Revelation 2:26-28). They shall be clothed in white raiment (white linen and glorified bodies, like the Giza Great Pyramid’s glorious casing stones) and their name will not be blotted out of the book of life. To the contrary, their name will be confessed by their Beloved before their heavenly Father and his angels (Revelation 3:5). The Lord will make them a pillar in the temple of the Father and they will ‘go no more out’. God’s name will be written on them, along with the name of city of God (New Jerusalem, Revelation 3:12). They will be seated with him on his throne (Revelation 3:21) en be like him.
Praise the Lord!
The sheltered bride is likened to an almond tree elsewhere in Scripture (Proverbs 3:18), a watchful and humble tree after which the Temple Menorah was fashioned, conformed to the Lord’s image she is allowing develop within her. She is concealed from a slumbering and darkened world, even unto complete separation, as her early awakening and blossoming sets her apart from those still abiding in winter’s shadows and cold. As they in turn awaken in their own season and start to flourish, the almond tree abides in humility again. With the exception of the few weeks of her heralding blossoming, the almond tree has no comeliness.
In like manner, the beloved disciple John spoke of himself as being our travailing brother, humble and contrite of heart and yet of great influence, fervently ministering the Lord’s grace, mercy, and refined light unto our spiritual fruitfulness. Our heavenly Father is going to present to his son a humble bride, refined by the Spirit, purified and adorned as a precious jewel (Ephesians 5:26-27). Let us allow the Spirit to bring us to that state of humility and listen to our elder brothers in the Lord, like John and Paul, who minister to us how to ready ourselves and overcome, abiding in the Lord’s grace.
Quench not the Spirit’s fire. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Paul in I Thessalonians 5:19-23, KJV).
May 21st | Face to face
… seeing our redeemer drawing nigh …
On May 20th, the first lunar crescent of Sivan is expected to be sighted, the Machar Chodesh Moon, tied to David’s covenant with Jonathan and his absence from the enemy’s lunar banqueting table in 1 Samuel 20:18-42, as he’s called home by his elder brother for a ‘yearly feast back home’, rich in rapture typology.
On May 21st, the Sun will conjoin with The Pleiades, representing the seven churches of Revelation coming face-to-face with their Redeemer and Lord.
This solar conjunction of The Pleiades was the ancient celestial marker of the onset of spring, the start of the yearly sailing season, when summer was considered to be ‘nigh, even at the doors’, as referred to in the Song of Solomon, when ‘the shadow of winter darkness was turned to light’ (Amos 5) and the bride is lovingly beckoned in Scripture to ‘come away’ with her beloved.
The Lord’s upcoming visitation of the Pleiades’ seven churches reflects a deeply longed-for and sought-after momentum, the blessed hope of the Bridegroom’s return for his bride. Aside from the evident blessing of one day being remembered unto our Lord, pondering the actuality of seeing him face-to-face in his holiness, will likely cause us to prayerfully bend our knees and surrender our hearts and minds more fully.
Lord, help us open our hearts, for you to minister your healing, deliverance, truth, and love more fully, even within our deepest and hidden chambers, so we can indeed stand before you, knowing that your visitation also means our spiritual condition will become evident in the blazing light of your presence.
John, in the heavenly throne room
… markers in Scripture of the Sun’s yearly visitation of the Pleiades’ congregation of seven candlesticks …
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches (ref. Psalm 104:4 and Zech 4:9-10).
Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Zecharaiah 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Psalm 75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
The bride has made herself ready
We are called by the Lord to look up, encouraged that we will see our redemption drawing nigh, in handwritten proclamations penned on his glorious heavenly blackboard. In Matthew 23 we learn why knowing the time of the Lord’s visitation is so important, as he beckons his beloved people to seek shelter under his wings (implying the Pleiades cluster) and receive his covering by grace through faith to avert his soon falling judgments, which was unfortunately not heeded by most when he entered Jerusalem triumphantly.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings (the Pleiades), and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Seek him
Amos 5 beckons us to seek the Lord, and expressly mentions the context of the Pleiades star cluster as a harbinger of spring and the flanking constellation Orion as the harbinger of the dark and cold winter season. Considering our daily rhythms, sunrise turns ‘the shadow of death or night into the morning’, and in the progression of our seasons a similar change is brought about when nature revives from the death of winter in the morning of the year. On the doorstep from winter to spring, the internal bands of nature are loosened – like the gracious Pleiades bring forth their sweet influences – so sap flows can rise once again and photosynthesis is furthered as the Lord ‘comes forth as light’ – expressed in Orion – to subdue his enemy of darkness under his feet.
Amos 5:1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even] a lamentation, O house of Israel. 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up. 3 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out [by] a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth [by] an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel. 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: 5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and [there be] none to quench [it] in Bethel. 7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, 8 [Seek him] that maketh the seven stars (Pleiades) and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning (turning the darkness and constraints of winter to spring, expressing resurrection also toward his overcomers and the innocent), and maketh the day dark with night: (turning light into darkness as judgment upon the wayward, the lost, and the wicked who do not seek him) that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: (the breaking waters of birth, an era of judgment akin to the days of Noah, but mow by fire, expressed in Orion’s river Eridanus, the fiery river of the judge) The LORD [is] his name: 9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. 10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading [is] upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. 12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate [from their right]. 13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it [is] an evil time. 14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph (Taurus is associated with Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Manasseh).
The seven stars in Amos 5:8 refer to the Pleiades, affirming their natural ‘sweet influences’ in springtime, when their loosened bonds allow the inner sap flows to bring forth leaves, blossoms, and ultimately fruition and nourishment, under the Lord’s watchful eyes (Psalm 92:10-14). Spiritually, the Pleiades express the Lord’s tender mercy and grace to further believer’s ability to overcome and bring forth his refined light and spiritual fruit, in loving fellowship with one another, as they are called to walk in brotherly love, like the church of Philadelphia was attributed. These attributes are affirmed by the veiled, bright blue appearance of the star cluster as purified hot fire and our modern understanding that the Pleiades are indeed a gravitationally bound star cluster, whose stars all move in the same direction at the same speed.
In contrast, Orion’s stars are not gravitationally-bound; they are gradually moving away from each other. The spiritual binding of Orion, majestically ruling the wintertime heavens, expresses the constraint of sap flow during the cold season to foster a partial dying to self and further inner growth and becoming more firmly rooted in the Lord’s soil, a process equally under the sovereign control of our Lord as he yearly ordains to loosen Pleiades’ grace in springtime. The Ephesians 6 ‘belt of truth’ reflects the constraining force of Orion’s belt in Scripture, anchoring the Lord’s standards and precepts as well as our spiritual armor and bringing our lives into submission to the author of truth and source of our strength, knowing his coming forth in light and power is imminent. Job was led by the Lord te consider the Lord’s sovereignty over his creation, over the enemy who had been allowed to touch and sift Job and bring him to the end of himself, speaking of the Lord binding the sweet influences of Pleiades and loosening the bands of Orion and thereby allowing his grace to flow forth in his submitted vessel and staying the forces of judgment (Job 38:31).
The Pleiades and Orion as harbingers
As the year’s winter doors are closed and those of summer open, The Lord, upon his solar visitation of the seven churches in the Pleiades, is literally at the doors.
“At the time of the origin of the constellations, the Pleiades were the harbingers of this seasonal change at their ‘cosmical’ rising, that is to say, when they rose with the Sun at daybreak, they brought back the “delights” of springtime.” …
“Similarly sunset makes “the day dark with night,” and in the progress of the seasons the analogous change on the higher scale is effected when the long nights and short days of winter set in the evening of the year, and all nature is bound as by iron bands, in cold and frost. And at the time of the origin of the constellations, the “acronychal” rising of Orion, i. e. its rising at nightfall, was the harbinger of this change; the rigor of winter formed “the bands of Orion.” …
These regular changes in the appearings and positions of the constellations constitute the ordinances of the heavens, ordinances which Job could neither alter for the worse by holding back the delights of springtime, or for the better by breaking the bonds of winter cold. But these ordinances were not confined in their effects to the heavens; their dominion was established on the earth, which answered by the revival of vegetation when the Pleiades, then nearly in conjunction with the sun, appeared for a short time before sunrise; and by the return of the constraints of cold and frost when Orion, in opposition to the sun, rode the sky the whole night long.
The completeness and beauty of the imagery will now be apparent.
- The Pleiades stood for the East, since by their rising just before daybreak, they heralded the morning of the year and the “delights” of springtime.
- Orion stood for the West, since his appearing just after nightfall heralded the evening of the year, and the bands of winter cold.
- Mazzaroth, the twelve constellations of the zodiac, the “chambers of the south,” each “led forth” from the underworld in its own “season,” stood for the South.
- And the “Bear with her train,” “guided” in their unceasing course round the pole, stood for the circumpolar constellations in the North.
- And the movements of them all in a perfect obedience to the law of God were the ordinances of heaven; whilst the dominion of them was seen to be established upon the earth in the constant succession of the seasons there in unfailing answer to the changes in the stars above.”
A more sure word of prophecy & the dawning day
Peter also speaks of the turning of seasons – when the day will dawn and darkness turns into light – to which we will be alerted by the more sure word of prophecy of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us coming into alignment with God’s Word and creation itself speaking in one accord:
2 Peter 2:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
In Revelation 2:28 believers who endure in faith are promised the gift of the morning star. A bit further in the text, we will see how the Moon and Sun will align with the Revelation 22 bright morning star.
Rise up and come away
In ancient days, the springtime conjunction of the Sun with the Pleiades marked the opening of the season so beautifully declared in the Song of Solomon, featuring the promise of our beloved returning. Note how he covers his beloved doves hidden in the clefts of the rock of his salvation, with sweet voices, under his banner or talit, reflected in the solar conjunction of the Pleiades. He asks his beloved to speak forth his grace while tending to the little foxes of sin. He alerts his tender eyed dove, with eyes like Leah, to the timing of the break of dawn when the shadows will flee in the brightness of his coming, assuring her of his love for her:
2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. 4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. 6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. 8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. 10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; 12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; 13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. 14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. 15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. 16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. 17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
The celestial hinge point from winter to summer
These hinge-point celestial events of the Lord coming face to face with his believers, on the threshold between winter and spring, are positioned against the heavenly backdrop of the constellation Taurus the Bull, denoting the Lord’s coming will be to both rescue and judge. It marks a Passover sequence in the Book of Revelation, of an up close and personal visitation by the Lord with a dividing sword in his mouth, who will show us his grace and mercy, provided we have applied the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts of our hearts, allow his light and living waters to enter its chambers and walk in humility, love, and faith.
- the reunion of the Sun and Moon on May 19th near the Pleiades (slide 1) on the day the King Palnet and Revelation 12 Man Child Jupiter enters Aries at 153.55 RA (slides 2-4);
- the Moon coming into alignment with the Pleiades, through the Hyades (the congregated) on May 20th. If we continue this line through the belt stars of Orion, we will arrive at the promised Revelation 22 bright morning star, Sirius. Sirius, the bright eye of the hawk constellation Canis Major, reflects the Lord as the Prince of Peace, coming as a hawk one day to snatch up his beloved and the innocent. The Giza pyramids, the Lord’s altar and witness in stone in Egypt, were designed to confirm the relation between the bridal pyramid, Orion’s belt stars, and the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters (slide 10-14).
- the subsequent conjunction of the Sun with the Pleiades on May 21st (slide 6). On this day the Moon will align with asteroid Esther, completing a Hebrew aleph-pictograph in between Taurus horns and drawing a union of two crosses or two tav symbols (slide 7). With thanks to Ecrusymphony for sharing a similar alignment.
- followed by the Sun also coming into alignment with Sirius and Orion’s belt stars on May 25th (slides 8-9), right before Sirius disappears from sight on May 26th and will not be visible again until its August 7th heliacal rising, the first visible rising before the Sun (see May 25th in the calendar overview above and in slides 15-16 below)
Location matters | The context of Taurus
Taurus the Bull (wild ox, reem, ‘succoth’ or booths in Syriac) is associated with Christ as a type of the sacrificial red heifer, per Deuteronomy 33:16-17, Isaiah 34:2-8, Numbers 8:8) who is approaching the Pleiades Seven Churches (also known as Chimah/Kimah, the heap or accumulation, ref. in Job 9:9; 38:31, 32, and Amos 5:8 and the seven candlesticks in Jesus’ letter in the Book of Revelation 1-2). An intricate picture of judgment and rescue unfolds in this constellation, whose two lyre-shaped horns (like David’s harp) are associated with the tribe of Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Manasseh and with first-fruits offerings in the Jewish temple tradition.
Joseph, a type of the ‘greater prince amongst his brothers’, was ‘brought out of Egypt’ (Numbers 23:22, like Christ himself would be. This was done with the strength of an ox (unicorn, Numbers 24:8). Joseph, in his submitted strength to the one he was yoked with, became a domesticated bull by volition, and his heart grew in likeness unto the Lord as they worked the harvest fields together (Jeremiah 31:18). As Joseph was girded with truth and strength (Luke 12:35-38), he would one day be exalted and endowed with the glory befitting a firstling bull, with his two horns operating as one in singleness of eyes and mind, like that of a unicorn (Deuteronomy 33:17).
The heavenly representation of the bull-shaped pictograph ‘Aleph’ represents the Lord as the coming Judge, Ruler, and Lord of all the earth (Psalm 44:5, Isaiah 13:11-15, Isaiah 26:21, Isaiah 34:2-8), per Biblical astronomers E.W. Bullinger and J. Seiss. The alignment of the Moon with asteroid Esther on May 21st, completes that sign of the Aleph (alpha) and apex or capstone The star sign was called, “Shur,” in Hebrew, which means “the bull coming.” The root word from which it is derived includes the meanings of “coming and ruling.”
We can discern this ourselves as well, for when Taurus and Orion rise in the sky, Scorpio, one of the constellations that represent the enemy, disappears from view. A clear vision of what will happen to Satan when Jesus comes to judge the world, and gives an active role to his witnesses assembled in the same constellation.
Scriptures concerning Taurus:
Deuteronomy 33:16-17
With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come ‘on the head of Joseph (increase, he will add),
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’ His glory is like a firstborn bull,
And his horns like the horns of the wild ox; (KJV: Unicorn, single authority)
Together with them
He shall push the peoples (the two horns denote Ephraim and Manasseh)
To the ends of the earth;
They are the ten thousands of Ephraim (double fruitfulness),
And they are the thousands of Manasseh (to forget).
Job 39 (NASB)
9 Will the wild bull be willing to serve you,
Or will he spend the night at your feeding trough?
10 Can you tie down the wild bull in a furrow with ropes,
Or will he plow the valleys after you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great,
And leave your labor to him?
12 Will you have faith in him that he will return your [d]grain
And gather it from your threshing floor? (the floor of separation, of treading Matthew 3:12, Luke 3:17)
Psalm 22, David foreshadowing the Lord’s crucifixion, and the process of him dying to self as a mirror
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Psalm 92:10-14 affirms the pictures of the fruition and exaltation of the faithful and the flowing of the sap of grace
10 But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 And my eye has looked at my enemies,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12 The righteous person will flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish in the courtyards of our God.
14 They will still yield fruit in advanced age;
They will be full of sap and very green,
Isaiah 34
Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples!
Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2 For the Lord’s anger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to slaughter.
3 So their slain will be thrown out,
And their corpses will give off their stench,
And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.
4 And all the heavenly lights will wear away,
And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5 For My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom,
And upon the people whom I have designated for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Wild oxen will also fall with them
And young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be soaked with blood,
And their dust become greasy with fat.
The Pleiades & Hyades
The Pleiades cluster are safely upheld at the shoulders of the Bull, while the prepared and congregated believers of the Hyades cluster are found in the bull’s forehead (Isaiah 34:7). The Hyades cluster roughly corresponds to the geographical positions of the seven churches in Asia Minor, in front of the Taurus mountain range in Turkey.
An example in Scripture of these congregated and battle ready believers are the daughters of Zelophehad (Numbers 26:33) who rightfully claimed an inheritance in the promised land. In mythology and pagan understanding we find corrupted pictures of this constellation, such as the goddess ‘Europa riding a beast’, as the enemy seeks to overlay and distort the Biblical meaning, just like in the times of the ‘golden calf idolatry’ in Moses’ days. A recent example of golden calf type worship is found in the elite’s push toward MRNA vaccines, the ‘gene therapeutic solution’ for their fabricated COVID19 plandemic, a stepping stone toward the future mark of the beast. Vaccine means “of the cow”, from variolae vaccinae.
In Taurus’ ancient Egyptian names, we can discern additional meaning, as this author shares: “One of their names for him was “Isis,” meaning “The One Who Saves Mightily” They also called him, “Apis: The Head or Chief Who Comes.” Still another name was “Horias: The Traveller Who Comes to Save. Here’s another very descriptive name: “Statio Hori: The Station or Place of Horus—The One Who Comes to Save.” ”
The enemy has sought to hijack these names and distort the identity of Taurus for his purposes over time. The Hebrew root of the word “isis” itself does not refer to the Egyptian goddess of the same name, who came much later. The word comes from the Hebrew verb which means, ‘to save’. When you add the Egyptian masculine pronoun ‘s’ it changes to, “This One Saves.” In a similar way, Isa (Arabic: عِيسَى, romanized: ʿĪsā or Eissa) is a classical Arabic name and a common translation of Jesus.

The Pleiades were also known as a tribulum and threshing floor:
The Pleiades stars cluster represent a crown of royalty and authority as a heavenly sign of represents the rule of Christ over the earth and the delegated authority to his seven churches to ‘remit and retain’ and to ‘bind and loose’ in his name.
The Septuagint Bible speaks of Noah’s flood starting on the 27th day of the second month of Noah’s life. A different calendar context, explains the seeming discrepancy with the Masoretic text, which lies at the basis of the King James Bible and other translations. Both versions are accurate. A brief clarification about the 27-day calendar used in the text.
