Making use of Stellarium - astronomy software that is freely available online, it is possible to view the positional alignment of celestial objects at times in the past and in the future. When we consider the Virgo constellation – representing “the woman” - we see that Jupiter enters her abdomen on November 20th 2016. This would then be seen as the conception that will be multiplied with her sorrow as prophesied in Genesis 3:15. Below is an image of this alignment on November 20th, 2016:
Figure 1. Date of Conception: November 20, 2016
What is further very interesting is the fact that Jupiter, or the King of the Planets, also symbolising righteousness and pointing to the King of Righteousness, stays in the abdomen of Virgo for the full period of human gestation, or 41 weeks. This is accomplished by a retrograde motion of Jupiter in this position, viewed from earth, which allows for an extended pause in this location that matches a human pregnancy. This retrograde motion occurs when the earth’s relative position to another planet changes as a result of orbital differences and from an earthly perspective it would seem that the planet in view is looping back in the direction from where it came, before continuing on its course. Birth of the Child then takes place around September 9th, 2016 as can be seen in the next image:
Figure 2: Date of Birth: September 9th, 2017
The complete sign, as described by John in Revelation 12 is then fulfilled on September 23rd, 2017, when Virgo, or the woman, is clothed with the sun, has twelve stars above her head and has the moon at her feet as shown in the image below:
Figure 3: Date of Completion: September 23, 2017
You will note that the twelve stars at her head is made up of the 9 stars in the constellation Leo as well as Mercury, Mars and Venus whose addition add up to twelve. They are also aligned with Regulus and a number of interesting conjunctions between these planets and Regulus also occur during the time of the pregnancy.
This is the only time in all of earth’s history that one can find a situation where the King of the planets enters the constellation Virgo’s abdomen and remains there, through a retrograde motion, for a period of human gestation which is then followed by the sun clothing the constellation, the moon at her feet and twelve stars at her head. This is indeed a very unique sequence of alignments in this procession as described by John in Revelation 12. The fact that this important sign, given by God to show us the times that we live in, can be tracked over a period of just over 9 months, reminds us of the mercy and grace that have been poured out upon us by our God: If you doubt God’s Word, I invite you to watch this play out and see how God’s Word is absolutely reliable and to make the right choice in giving your life to the Lord Yeshuah before the alignment shown above is reached.
Something that is obviously missing from these images is the celestial object that represents the Great Red Dragon also known as Nibiru, but according to God’s Word we know where to look for it and know where it will be located at the time that Jupiter is birthed from Virgo. Even though this celestial body may be missing from the software, we know that God has hidden this information long ago in his Word and that it will appear at the time appointed for it. Just as we know that all the other celestial objects are found to have a physical match at the time when this sign occurs, we also know that the Red Dragon will show up based on God’s unfailing Word.
Here is another amazing revelation: Around the time of Jupiter’s birth from Virgo, the object known as the Great Red Dragon will obscure or eclipse Jupiter and Jupiter will most likely disappear from view.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Let us shift our focus to the Great Red Dragon for a minute: If you believe that the elusive object known as Nibiru or Planet X is just a subject for conspiracy theorists, please consider the following: We know from secular media that NASA discovered a rogue planet with particular attributes through their IRAS satellite in 1983. This was reported in the Washington Post and the news article is posted below:
Figure 4: Washington Post Article
Another press release by NASA in 1992 – 9 years later – found its way out to the public in which the writer stated the following:
“Unexplained deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune point to a large outer solar system body of 4 to 8 Earth masses on a highly tilted orbit, beyond 7 billion miles from the Sun.” (NASA Press Release, 1992)
However, this press release was subsequently removed from NASA’s website and is still missing from the archives with NASA posting the following excuse on their website:
“Editor's note:
This archive is missing some press releases from 1990 through 1994, though the archive ostensibly links to those files. We are working to resolve the problem and apologize for the inconvenience.” (NASA Website Editor’s Note, 2016)
NASA has now been working on this problem for more than two decades and still have not been able to bring back those missing press releases. If I was a NASA astronaut, I would be concerned about the organization’s IT capabilities or ask the questions of why they have purposefully retracted this information and why they want to hide this information from the public, given that this was once public knowledge.
Whatever the reason, we know that God has also written this missing information into his Word and tells us clearly in Revelation 12 where the rogue planet (Nibiru) will be positioned at the time when the “Great Wonder” concludes. The effect of this celestial body obscuring or eclipsing Jupiter should then occur between September 8th and September 23rd of 2017.
What should also be concerning, based on the fact that we see a physical application of the narrative is the mention of “stars” that are drawn in the Red Dragon’s tail and that these are said to be cast onto the earth:
Rev12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Just as we see an actual physical representation of the Woman, the Seed and the Red Dragon in the heavens, we can know that the “stars” that will be caught in the tail of this celestial object will cross paths with earth, sometime after September 2017. We also see this confirmed in prophecies of large asteroids/meteors that will hit the earth in other chapters of Revelation:
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Even if the existence of Nibiru is only known to the powers that be and seeing how they are purposefully trying to obscure the knowledge of its existence from the general public because of the world-wide panic that it would cause if the world knew that this object would be crossing paths with earth, our God has created the universe and knows everything about it. He has also revealed this knowledge to his children so that they can know the times that they live in, by looking at the sky and applying patterns that are observed to what was prophesied in his Word – confirming God’s Word to us.
Is it not strange that many nations have in the past decade or two sent expeditions to Antarctica to install infrared telescopes? Why the sudden interest in the infrared spectrum by Australia, China, France, Italy, Japan and the USA who are also working together on this? Does it maybe have something to do with the fact that this object, that was discovered in 1983 and which casts no light, can only be observed in the infrared spectrum? Does the highly tilted orbit that was mentioned in the 1992 press release mean that the object is best viewed from the South Pole?
I believe that because information about this object is being suppressed that the sign of Revelation 12 is specifically given by God to allow those who watch for their Lord’s return, to see how his prophecies are fulfilled over a period of 9 months. The intention of this long-lasting sign is part of God’s grace toward the world - to allow those who doubt his Word to realise that what He has said in the prophets and in the New Testament is true and 100% accurate and that this sign is paramount in our history. It will have an outcome for both believers and unbelievers. For believers to everlasting joy as fellow heirs of Christ when He removes his Church from the earth and for those who love this world above God, to judgment for choosing to reject the gift of salvation that was wrought by Yeshuah, 2,000 years ago on the cross.
So to quickly recap on the information that we have considered thus far, let us review the following aspects surrounding the Revelation 12 sign that emphasise the importance of it from a biblical standpoint:
Considering only these aspects for now, it should become glaringly evident that we find ourselves in a very privileged position to be able to accurately discern the very next appointed time when we keep in mind what God’s Word tells us. This is the only heavenly sign in the Bible that is given with so many symbolic attributes, which are also present in a physical form, occurring only once in our known history. As we continue, I believe God will show you how close we are to his next appointment with Israel and the world and how exciting it is for those who look forward to his imminent return.
