Apollo as the morning star

Quote

Revelation 12.1-2

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

Will the woman give birth to the morning star? There are two morning stars, Phosphorus or Eosphorus, which is the planet Venus as the bright morning star and Apollo which is the planet Mercury as the morning star.

 

My understanding is that during the birth of Jesus Christ both Phosphorus and Apollo were visible.

 

So this brings us to another mystery. The lions at the island of Delos.

The Terrace of the Lions, also was dedicated to Apollo by the people of Naxos shortly before 600 BC. It originally had 9-12 squatting, snarling marble guardian lions along the Sacred Way; one was removed and is presently situated over the main gate of the Venetian Arsenal. The lions create a monumental avenue comparable to Egyptian avenues of sphinxes. (A Greek sphinx is in the Delos Museum.) Today, only seven of the original lions remain.

Delos had a position as a holy sanctuary for a millennium before Olympian Greek mythology made it the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis

 

I watched a youtube video regarding the orientation of the lions at Delos and the possible alignment with the solstices or with certain constellations. I didn't buy this theory. Below I show how the lions are aligned to Nazareth.

But how does Apollo relate to the birth of Jesus through the direction that the lions align to? Yes they point to Nazareth but what is the astronomical idea behind this?

 

This direction is actually the direction of Apollo(the planet Mercury) rose at Nazareth during the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary. What we do is we subtract 280 days from the date of the birth of Jesus as September 11 3 BC. We are thus led to the date December 5 4 BC. According to Wikipedia,  "Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the start of the last menstrual period (LMP), a span known as the gestational age."

 

In other words the planet Mercury's rising azimuth on the day December 5 4 BC at Nazareth was equal to the azimuth - the direction between the lions of Delos to Nazareth - the place of the Annunciation of Virgin Mary.

The Six-Day War ... or June War, also known as the 1967 Arab–Israeli War or Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab states (primarily Egypt, Syria, and Jordan) from 5 to 10 June 1967.

This is according to Wikipedia. The outcome is that Jews for the first time seize control of Jerusalem. We also read:

Territorial changes:    Israel captures and occupies the Golan Heights from Syria, the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.

We know for a fact that Jesus was resurrected Midnight between Saturday April 8 30 AD, and Sunday April 9 30 AD.

 

Let's thus move the time forward from the occupation of Eastern Jerusalem by the Jews on June the 10th 1967 AD to the next date that relates to the resurrection of Jesus. This is: real(astronomic) Midnight between Monday April 8 1968 AD  and Tuesday April 9 1968 AD.

 

We station ourselves at Jerusalem and using the astronomy software Stellarium we look at the planetary data. We notice the distance D of planet Mercury for the Earth.

 

D = 188,918,000,000 meters

 

This is 100,000 times larger than the dimensions (the side width) of the New Jerusalem cube based on the position of mount Zion(Cenacle).

 

w = 1,889,869 meters

 

This astronomical alignment between the date April 8 and 9 at Midnight only occurs the year 1968, that is if we look into all the years between 1900 and 2100 AD.

Following up on the previous analysis we note that if we station ourselves at Bethlehem at Astronomic Noon of April 8 1968 we measure the distance of planet Mercury and find it to be:

 

z = 188,219,000,000 meters

 

But the dimensions of New Bethlehem are:

 

t = 1,882,043 meters = 11,945 Stadions
