Thanks ! I know it is turning into something of a marathon, but I hope that when I have completed you will share some of the awe I feel at this astronomical sequence.
I have five more Parts to go:
Part 5: The Glory of the Lord is risen upon Thee, which deals with the significance of the retrograde motion of Jupiter over Regulus and Zaniah and the meaning of Isaiah 60: 1-3.
Part 6: The sign of the Virgin revisited: this proposes the appulse of 17 June 2BCE as the conception/incarnation date of Christ with a countdown of 10 lunar cycles to the all important start of Passover on 7 April 1BCE; and interprets Revelations 12: 1-5 as also a reference to an astronomic event.
Part 7: the Star went before the Wise Men, and stood over the place where the young child was. This proposes a solution to perhaps the most controversial aspect of the story: how a star “went before” the wise men. I attempt to show that it remains an astronomical feature, as it was recorded to have been.
Part 8: In the days of Herod the King. This deals with matters of chronology and the contested ground of dating the birth of Christ.
Part 9: Finale. In addition to a summation, this part will address implications of this study. It will also signal areas for future work.
Hope you remain interested.
