(d.) But while a cycle correction for 600 years was thus made, it seems to have been upon such grounds as to admit of accommodation to a fixed point or location in the circle of the simple year. Bearing in mind the method of correction of the 365 dav year on that of 360 days, by means of the epagomenai, or the putting of 5 days in a box, a scheme can be suggested as ofancient use ofdeter-n2701 ¶46

mining such a point and location at the wintersolstice. In the form 355 360 365 360 being the mean between 355, the abstract circumfer-ence value (connecting the year calendar forms with then2701 ¶49

Garden of Eden and the pyramid forms of 113 : 355 andn2701 ¶50

20612 : 6561) and the solar year value of 365, because of this, seems to have been used as a standard of measure of time. The equivalents of these forms are to be found in the numbers 70, 71, 72, and 73, by considering them as circles, to be subdivided in five units for each unit of theirn2701 ¶51

vakies, =respectively, as 7 = 0 X 5 35°' 7^ X 5=355, 72 X 5 360, and 73 X 5 365-Take now the standard measuring circle of {d.) (i.) 360, and fasten some point on it to correct the year time to some phenomenal point of the solar year proper, say the winter solstice. Then, having counted 360 days to this point, the five epagomenai days are put in a box, orblotted out, with respect to this measure circle; but, on the other circle of 365 days, are continued on to make the full solar now made correct with the seasons to a definite end year, or stop ; from whence, after the lapse of four years, the bissextile correction of one day can be made. This seems to be a scheme ofsubordinate showing under the l—arge cor-rection of the 600 year cycle in the flood narrative that is, while, upon some base of calculation, the 150 days of the prevalence of the flood was the correction of the 600 yearn2701 ¶53

period, denoted by the beginning of the rain of 40 days no days ofthe bearing up ofthe ark, this very subdivision of time was also to denote a point of the year in which the correction should be marked, as thereafter to be the close of one and the beginning of another year.n2701 ¶55

(2.) The detailed relations of the flood are interesting. As usual in Hebrew, there were diff'erent words expressive of the same idea in the English translation. The word ''flood'' is used in various places, but the special word in Genesis is tnabtil, or m'bul. The root word is bul, and this was the name of the month, or sign, of the occurrence ofn2701 ¶56

246 Appendix V. ^93-n2701 ¶57

rain, or of the rm'ny j/wni/i ; and, as one of the moon,n2701 ¶58

run from the new moon of November to that of Decembern2701 ¶59

(Fuerst.) This month is set down as the eighth in the Jew-ish calendar, or it was probably the third month of the an-cient year, extending to the winter solstice, or birthplace of the—year; just where, for correction, the stop should be made viz., at the end of the old year, by the ark being raised up from the earth so that the earth might pass on under it, while it remaining still, or slop, or JVoah, would at last, with the sinking ofthe waters, drop atthat time, and place, on the earth, where the signs were thus made to be-come correct with the seasons. This place was similar with our Easter period, which,regulated by lunar time, oscillates between certain fixed solar limits. The count for correc-tion of the great calendar period of 600 years, run from the entering the ark, or box, and continued 150 days ; but this latter space of time was divided for some reason. There is a count from the 17th day of the second month (sun in Scorpio) of40 days, which would carry to the 27th day of the third month, or Bui, or the solstice month, as presented on the Egyptian charts. It looks as if the word for -flood had reference to this month word ; and apparently this view is confirmed.n2701 ¶60

(3.) Noah entered the ark, or Theba, or box, on the second (2d) month, the 17th day of the month. Referring to Seyffarth's Chronology (p. 211) he says: "November 8th, Julian style, i. e., 17th day of 2d month, the deluge commences in the 600th year of Noah." It seems that Epiphanius specifies the date on which Jesus received his baptism at the hands of John, on the 8th November like-wise, so thatJesus went down into the water, ortype of the pit, or womb, or of death and birth, on the anniversary of Noah's going down into the hollow of the ark. Seyffarth (same, p. 182) says : " The baptism of Christ, and the beginning of his prophetic ministry, are, first of all, determined by the testimony of St. Luke. For, since the fifteenth year of Tiberius, in which the Baptist entered upon his prophetic ministry, is, by our presentn2701 ¶61

Appendix V.n2701 ¶62

§ 93- 247n2701 ¶63

calculation, brought down two years later (than by Petavius), Christ must have been baptized in the 29th year after the com-mencement of our era, 'at an age ofnearly (wot/) thirty,' to enter, forty days latcr^ upon his prophetic office. On the same day, the 23d December, Christ was thirty years of age ; and as Christ was, as he says, 'born under the law,' and consequently obliged to enter the priestly office on the first day of the 31st year, he must have commenced his public ministry on the 22d of Decem-ber, A. D. 29, and received his baptism on the 13th November (that is, 40 days earlier). Epiphanius specijies the ?>th Novem-ber^ simply because^ on account of the shftingof the epagome-nai {the intercalary days) his 8th November corresponds with our i-^th.''n2701 ¶64

This quotation is made to show how the 40 days from the 8th November terminated at the limit of the 22d day of December, of our day, the point of the winter solstice, under the explanation of Seyffarth, of the correspondence of the 8th day of November of Epiphanius, and the 13th November of the solar year, by use of the five intercalary days ; which would go to show that, by Epiphanius, the 360 year period closed November 8th of the solar year, or the 17th day of the 2d month, then by blotting out or re-serving from count five days, the 17th day would continue over this period, so that it (the 17th day) would correspond with the 13th day of November of the solar year. Just what has been said above as the count on a circle of one kind (360) stopping, the days thus blotted out would still be counted on, on the circle ofanother kind (365) ; in this case to the commencement of the flood.n2701 ¶65

(4.) Now, Noah entering the ark on this I7lh day ofthe 2d month, or the 13th of November, solar year time, it rained 40 days, the ark not as yet being lifted up. At the end of 40 days the ark is lifted up, and at the end of 150 days from the beginning of the flood (the full correction of the 600 year period), or no days after the end of the 40, it descends on the peaks ofthe mountains, which could not have been very high, as the depth of the flood is stated at 15 cubits, or 25-f- feet. This arrangement is simply to de-signate where in the year the landing was to take place,n2701 ¶66

Appendix V.n2701 ¶67

248 § 93.n2701 ¶68

viz., December 22d, the winter solstice, for it is to be con-sidered that it was at that point when it was lifted up, and afterward simply remaining stationary, while the earth passe—d on under it, t—he remainder of the time of the 150 days vizo. no days was perfected, or brought to a close, the waters abated, and the ark made its landing on the 22d of December of the solar year, the winter solstice. This then was the great turning point, or arpoipa'to:;, or hinge, fastened by the flood calculation, in a calendar way.n2701 ¶69

(It is to be noted here, what is constantly the case, that the data connectedwith theworking outofsomeone particularphase seems to be fitted forradiating offto the accomplishment ofsome other or others. The number no is extraordinary in other rela-tions. Joseph died in Egypt, being "an hundred and ten years (no) old and they embalmed him, and he was put in a box, or ; ark, in Egypt." (Gen. 50, 26.) The narrative of his burial is reserved to 24th Joshua, 32, as it were, to be mentioned in con-nection with the death ofJoshua, the son of Nun, of whom it says, in the 29th verse, that he " died, being an hundred and ten (no) years old;" showing a bringing together of this number 110, thustwice used, andonce —as connectedwith an arkorTheba.

Other number Rests, or Stops, in the Flood Narrative.n2701 ¶71

(e.) It is a curious matter to mark some of the other uses of the number rests in the description of the flood.n2701 ¶72

"The history of the deluge is based upon the solar months of 30 days each" (Seyff'arth, Chronology, p. 170), withwhich statement the foregoingworkings agree. From the isl day of the ist month, therefore, to the 17th day of the second month, was 47 days. The flood prevailed 150 days. Then the raven and dove were sent forth, the dove returning. A lapse of 7 days. The dove wasn2701 ¶73

Then, to make a full solaryear of 365 days, would require the additional number of 113, or the famous diameter value of 355, or the Hebrew word for year. But to make this year of 355 days would require an additional number of 103, or one-half of 206, one of the lengths of the queen's chamber.n2701 ¶77

If, however, instead offollowing the count thus, —in days, as mentioned, the months and days be taken, then " On the tenth month, were the mountains seen ;" 10 months, 300 days.n2701 ¶78

Mount Ararat, or yared, or Yard, and its Signijications.n2701 ¶89

T'he mountain on which the ark rested was is"-) (^') called Ararat, and this has been shown to be Mount Jared, TH*, or the Mount of Descent, a figurative expres-sion for the basic source of calculation ; as it is the square yard, four of which, or the one solar day value, constitute the Adam form of extension of the Garden of Eden, asn2701 ¶90

Appendix V.n2701 ¶101

the 6 days of the week, and then the 7th day, stand as the base of various calculations as shown ; so here, Jared, the yard, and Enoch, the father of the solar year (as 365), stand, respectively, as the 6th and 7th in the order of this table. Add the ages to Jared, inclusively, and the sum, nf the mount, to give its character, in o = ne phase, is 130 -}- 105 + 90-1-7—0 + 65 + 162 622 years. 622 \sthesumqftwo men viz.,311 + 311 =622 ; butwhile = 311 is man, aish, it is also the woman, as 5 + 300 +1+5 311 ; and, as an — other form of aish is 113, we have the 622, as exhibitingn2701 ¶102

or the ivoman-man, ox man'ivo^nan, or hermaphrodite form of the source of the Garden of Eden, reproduced, which, in its extension under the Adam form, we have seen to be Jared, or yard, squared, and multiplied by 4. Thus the numerical enunciations of the types are seen constantly to head the various phases; from whence, in detail, the va-rious ramifications arise from the concrete form. Reverse the reading of 622, as 226, and this is diameter to the cir-cumference of 712, the heel of Jacob, and found in the queen's chamber measures. The use of 113, as a meas-ure, is reinforced in its use in the post-Adamic chronolog-ical table, where, of Pcleg, it is stated that in his days then2701 ¶104

(3.) Thus, Ararat is shown to be Mount Jared, or yard, and also to be the monumental sign of the mark in theyear, of its changes from old to new, or of the hinge or cardinal point of the winter solstice, or the 22d Decem-ber. What is the fcrsonijication of this? Is it not Janus Bifrons of the Romans? Who stood with double face, looking upon the past, and, prophetically, upon the coming year? If there is any one thing clearly shown in the books, it is that the Roman Catholic Church holds Janus Bifrons as St. Peter. It was Peter that first hailed Jesusn2701 ¶110

Appendix V.n2701 ¶111

252 § 93-n2701 ¶112

as the Christ. Christ founded the Church on Peter. Peter was but a form of Ararat, or Mount Jared, marking the winter solstice as December 22d. While the triumph-ant Christ, as Mcshiac, sat in Leo, holding under his con-trol the cross (origin of measures), Peter's place was below his, or at his dental, holding also the cross. Reference to this is certain under the tradition of Peter beinsr cruci-fied head down-ward, as the opposite of his Lord. Peter as a stone was the cube of that letter il, or 5, by which the Hebrews say that God created all things. " Thou art the stone," and " on this stone" are the words. The Hebrew word for stone is p}<, abn, and reading the letters as they run, it is 125 ; and 125 is the cube of^. Five and five are 10, or the space between the cherubims, or the cube of 10. See ! to make this cube of 10, or the -perfect one, uniting within itself the perfect male and perfect female, in their conditions as separated from the hermaphrodite form, as shown, requires just 8 cubes of 5 each. But the 10, as the perfect one was Jehovah. Under the Noah form, this is represented by 8 persons, 4 males and 4 females, going into the ark, and Noah's name as nil, or HJ, is the hiero-glyph ofthis use. Then, Mt. Ararat, or Mt. Jared, or Mt. Janus Bifrons, or Mt. Peter, or Mt. Cubical stone of $, xho.fotmdation stone, and the winter solstice mark as then2701 ¶113

22d December, were all one. The whole was founded onn2701 ¶114

Peter, or 125, and in building, 8 of these cubesbecame the 10, ovperfect one, or Jehovah (and forthis use, while (?(5« is 125 as the letters run, by adding them the sum is 8); and 10 is circumference to the diameter 318, which was the Gnostic Christ.— How strange it is that it is left to the Epistle ofPeter i Ephes.,chap. 3,—verses 20,21n2701 ¶115

But as toJesus, in this connection, his baptism by John, orthe dove, in the River-Dan, or Fish-River, was an answering to the entering ofNoah, or Peter, into the ark. The 40 days elapsing to his entering upon his ministry, corresponded to the 22d December mark ofn2701 ¶116

Appendix V.n2701 ¶117

the lifting up of the ark, and the place of its descent no days thereafter, whereby allthings became new.n2701 ¶119

Other Types and Teachings.n2701 ¶120

(h.) The figures, or displays, however, of one class of problems were co-ordinately made to serve the purpose of explanation, or the teaching in astronomical figures of Aothers. most striking and far-reaching teaching or feature of the astronomical circle of the signs was in the conditions of the sun, agreeably to his station in the signs of his acquired power, and of his death. The balanced signs were Aries, the lamb, and the balances, =0=, opposite. Out of Aries, the lamb, the sun now having acquired his fructifying power, enters the sign ofthe Bull, presided over by Venus, the type of love and of germination. The bor-der of the sign of the Lamb, then, was that of Taurus. Opposite to this, the sun, descending from the lower edge of Libra, or the balance, entered into Scorpio, presided over by Mars, with his hasia (as Libra was by Cain, or Pater Zadic, the Just One, who, being, a Mars form, and carrying the hasta, as the sun descends to the lower edge of the balaYice, -pierces it with his spear, just as it is de-scribed as to Abel ; for it is not the word to slay, or kill, but topierce, that is there used) ; the mark ofthe usebeing not only topierce, but also as impregnating the place Scorpio, or the gate of the woman, or Delilah, with the germ of an2701 ¶121

new life. The whole type was made to answer to the lifen2701 ¶122

of man. The point of greatest anxiety, and of dread of expectancy, was of course that in Scorpio, or of the death of the sun. Personified, the tribe to which this sign was appropriate was Dan; yet it was in Dan that "we await thy salvation, O Lord." (The sign Scorpio, being the gate of the woman, is opposite to the sign Taurus, and they meet at apoint in the center of the spherejust where they arc met by the line ef the balance or Pater Zadiei) The place Scorpio was thepit, or the Hebrew word TV^, shiac, the place of death, the door of Hades, or of Sheol. But true to the type, as the sinking sun was held to be a deadn2701 ¶123

Appendix V.n2701 ¶124

254 § 93-n2701 ¶125

sun, on enteringthe door ofthe devouringworm, the nighty or Lilah, or woman, prepared to give birth to the new one. So, by parallelism, the soul only passed the door as a preparation for resurrection or new birth. In the heathen representations of this place of condition, under the formn2701 ¶126

of a woman, over the mouth of the womb, was drawn then2701 ¶127

picture of the scull -with crossed bones. The symbol was that of the door of life, as but a note of change from the condition of death. As death w^as to be considered the greatest evil, the place was hateful, and considered bad, and full oisin; so that here all that was evil, dreadful, and sinful, was the very accompaniment of all that was to be most hoped for, most delightful, and most enjoyable. This at once makes plain the unaccountably horrid qualities an-ciently attributed to woman, down to as late a period as the early church fathers.n2701 ¶128

The author of "The Origin and Destiny of Man," page 145, has collected various holy statements as to this: " Corpus mulierisignis est," says a holy person. O malum et acutissimum telum diaboli, mulier 1 exclaims St. Chry-sostom ; Per mulierem Adam in Paradiso diabolus pros-travit, et de Paradiso exterminavit. St. Augustine says : Mulier docere non potest, nee testis esse, neque fidem dicere, neque judicare, quanto magis non potest imperare?n2701 ¶129

St. John of Damascene says; Mulier jumentum malum,n2701 ¶130

vermis repens, atque in Adamo domicilium habens, men-dacii filia, Paradisi custodia, Adami expellatrix, hostis pernitiosa, pacis inimica. St. Peter Chrysologus, Bishop of Ravenna, says that she is malis causa, peccati auctor, sepulchri titulus, inferni janua, et lament! necessitas tota.n2701 ¶131

St. Anthony : Caput peccati, arma diaboli. Cum mulieremn2701 ¶132

vides, says he, non hominem, non belluam, sed diabolum esse credite. Her voice is serpentis sibulus. St. Cyprian would sooner hear basilicum sibilantem, than a womann2701 ¶133

singing. St. Bonaventura compares women to the scor-n2701 ¶134

pion, which is always ready to sting man. They are, he says, arma et balista diaboli. Eusebius of Cassarea says thatwoman is saggita diaboli. Gregorythe Great : Muliern2701 ¶135

Appendix V.n2701 ¶136

§ 93- 255n2701 ¶137

recta docere nescit. St. Jerome : Si mulicr suo arbitrio relinquatur, cito ad deteriora delabitur. And again : Op-tima foemina rarior est phoenice. And again : Janua diaboli, via iniquitatis, scorpionis percussio, nocivum genus. The church's opinion of women would be something fearful to contemplate, in connection with the necessity of their being the only mothers, sisters, and refining companions of man, were it not that this opinion was taken from these ancient glyphs and unificating necessities.n2701 ¶138

The word tl''^^, s/ii'ac, is in Hebrew the same word as a verbal, signifyinglogo down into the^it. As a noun, it also means _^//, -place of thorns ; also, the complaining word. The hijil participle of this word is PT^JTO, or Messiach, or the Greek Mcssias, or Christ, and means ^'-he who causes to go down into the ^it^^ a manifest attributed function of then2701 ¶139

An2701 ¶140

Savior as held by Christian teaching. very careful analysis and comparison of the Hebrew and Greek forms leads to some almost astounding developments, as to the twofold conditions of the Messianic character. Nork says most truly of Jesus, that he never was anointed either as high priest or king, where he is showing that the term Christ is not applicable to him as the one anointed, as Ahigh priest or king. setting forth of the Messianic meanings will throw a flood of light on the New Testa-ment narratives. There are two words in the Hebrew fromn2701 ¶141

whence the Greek word Messiah can be derived. Then2701 ¶142

first is the verbal HC^D, mashach, or participle passive, mt^D, Mashiiach, made to read equivalently H^J^D, Ma-shiach, or Meshiac, the very word used by the Greeks for Messiah. This verbal means /# besmear, to anoint as with oil in dedicdtion (Fuerst). The second word is n'tT, shiac, same with niC^. As a noun it has the meaning oi fit, grave; hence, to sinkas into a -pit orgrave. Italso has the meaning to speak; hence, as substantive, word, or speech, lamentation , grief, humiliation ; further, to walk amon = g bushes, thorns. The hifl participle ofthis word is (1*1^0 Meshiac, or Messias, naturally, and without making any equivalent change whatever. Now, with what has beenn2701 ¶143

256 Appendix V. § 93-n2701 ¶144

said as to the woman character, or quality of the sign Scorpio, which is so often confounded by the early church fathers with the woman ; especially as to its being the pit of the grave, while it is the vagina, as indicating resur-rection, and new birth: and, with the remark of uVork, that Jesus never was anointed as high priest or—king, take this circumstance of his life into consideration viz., He, as viortal, was neveranointed but once; then byawoman ; and not as highpri—est, orking; but, as He said, '•''She did itfor my burial,'"' which of the two Hebrew words giv-ing the term Mcshiac is most fitting and appropriate? But the fact is there were two Messiahs: One, as causing him-self to go down into the pit, for the salvation of the world ; this was the sun shorn of his golden rays, and crowned with blackened ones (symbolizing this loss), as the thorns : The other was the triumphant Messiah, mounted up to the summit of the arch of heaven, personated as the Lion of the tribe of "Judah. In both instances he had the cross ; once in humiliation (or the son of copulation), and once holding it in his control, as the law of creation, He being Jehovah. As strange as this development is, its strange-ness is enhanced, when it is to be shown that the Greeks had also a double form of derivation to run parallel with that ofthe Hebrew as given. Fuerst, in noticing the pow-ers of the two Hebrew letters H and 11, likens the first to the smooth, and the second to the rough, aspirate of the Greeks, and sa3's, moreover, that ll can be taken as the Greek ;f. Then for the double form : In the Greek there is the word yj>'uo, whence yocazo:;, to anoint with oil; there-fore equivalent to the Hebrew M^shiac, having the same meaning. Now, considering what Nork says, as to there having been no such anointing, and what is said as to the real anointing for burial by the woman, take the equiva-lent of y, in the rough breathing (in fact, Hadley gives y as the rough aspirate), and we find theword pr^ac^, or ypqat::, a word, speech (taken as from ptoi, and ipco). Passing from this to the other form of the rough aspirate, or y, and con-sidering these as equivalent forms, we do find ypdto, " inn2701 ¶145

Thus iho.fatedsacrifice ofthe word. Then came the short-ened use of this form in y^prj<TTO(; (from yjiaco), to run -par-allelto y()cazoz. Thus the paralleled double form is com-mon to both languages. While, also, this is appropriate to the structure of the Greek language, Godfrey Higgins, in Anacalypsis, Vol. i, p, 569, gives authorities confirming the fact of the double use of the two terms Christos and Chr'estos. The learning is very singular, as showing the gradual suppression and elimination of the esoterism, by which Scripture teaching has been thrown into confusion, and its real system has been subverted. The Greek of I Pet. II, 2, is: " If so ye have proved that (xprjazb:: 6 Chr'estos is the Lord." To prove that the reading xufJioi;) has been that of a: proper name, Bishop Marsh says :n2701 ¶148

to die is gain." Dr. Jones says ofthis, that the sense re-quires yjnazoq, in the sense ofyp-qazo^^ to correspond with y.zpooci {gain)." St. Paul seems to mean here, " For me to live is death {yprjozo<:), to die is to live (gain) ;" havingref-erence to the resurrection in Christ, or yptazoz- It involves the idea of5«<;r-ifice, or new-birth, by death unto righteous-ness, or this very yprjaro::, or M'eshiac, condition. Justin Martyr calls the Christians by name of ypr^aztavot. And so on. To a late day, the terms Chr'estos and Christos for Christ, were used interchangeably. The two condi-tions were necessary to the full proportions of the whole Christian system. Jesus, as the siffering sacrifice, could not be the trium-phant Christ until he had passed through the sacrificial Chrest condition. At Scorpio, he was Chres-tos, in the pit, among the thorns, or blackened rays; but thence, passing around the circle, until the summit was at-tained, at Leo He became the triumphant Christos, as then2701 ¶152

or ofStyx, where was located the place ofjudgment ofthe departed spirits. Therefore theriver Jordan had its head-waters in the springs of Scorpio, or the gates of death, or the vagina of the woman.

Now, it can be seen how perfectly the Christian scheme was made to answer to its ancient prototype. When, for the first time, Jesus asks his disciples, "Whom do men sayn2701 ¶166

that I the SonofMan am ?" (Son ofMan is the Ben Enoshn2701 ¶167

of Daniel, and the Son of Seth (the year) in Genesis,) Simon Peter (Simon Bar Jonah, or the son ofthe Dove, and also as Peter the stone, Abn, pN, 125, or the cube of 5, or letter H, or womb) answered, and said : " Thou art the Meshiac, the son ofthe living God." (Matthew 16.) Now, all this depends for its real significance on just that on which no stress would ever be laid without instruction. Tlie verse (13) is : " When Jesus came into the coasts ofn2701 ¶168

Whomn2701 ¶169

CcBsarea Philipfi, he asked his disciples, saying, do men say that I the Son of Man am?" The location gave rise to all the rest. Caesarea Philippi was the siten2701 ¶170

of ancient Dan, out of which very spot welled forth the ^reat spring of the Jordan river. He had gone to the localized type of the pit, the gate of death, or of Sheol. Jesus in Dan was in the shiac, orpit. He had caused to go there, therefore He was the H^J^O, the Meshiac. He was enacting His going down into the pit agreeably to the ancient types and symbols. Astronomically, it was the death of the sun, but a death which was the precursor of the JVczu Sun. The death planted life in the womb of darkness, of Lilah, or ofEgypt, and " Out ofEgypt have I called my son."n2701 ¶171

Aconsideration of the salient dates in the life of Jesus seems to strengthen the astronomical exposition made. From Seyffarth is to be gathered : "According to solar months (of 30 days, one of the calen-dars in use among the Hebrews) all remarkableeventsofthe Old Testament happened on the days of the equinoxes and the sol. stice&4. for_^nstancej_the foundations and the dedications of the temples atjiLaltars^and consecration of the taFernacle). ^n~ tHe^mecardinar days, the most remarkable events oFthe New Testament happened ; for instance, the ^""t^5^£i£tion^_Uie_birtfi7' the" resurrection oTXrhnst^ andlhe" birth ofTohn the Baptist." ^'"Anmhus we learn that all remarkable epochs of the New Tes-tainent were i^pically sanctified a long time before by the Old Testament, beginning at the day succeeding the end of the Crea-tion, which was the"a^ayofthe vernal equinox." "During tliF crucifixTonTon the I4ttrday orT^Hsan, Dionysius Areopigita saw, in Ethiopia, an eclipse of the sun, and he said, Now, the Lord (Jehovah) is suffering somethingN." "Then Christ arose from the dead on the 22d March, 17 isatz, Sunday^jh—ejiay of the vernal equinox (Seyf., quoting Philo de Septen.) that is. on Easter, or on the da^^when the sun gives new life to the earth.^ cr^g~:;^^;^7-^f^l^nThrBaptist, 'lie must increase, but I nvust decrease,' serve to prove, as is affirmed by the fathers of the church, thatJohn was born on the longest day of th—e year, and Christ, who was 6 months younger, on the shortest," 22d June and 22d December, the solstices."n2701 ¶172

This only goes to show that, as to another phase, John and Jesus were but epitomizers of the history of the same sun, underdifferences ofaspect or conditionn2701 ¶173

and one con-n2701 ¶174

dition following another, ofnecessity, the statement, Luke ix., V. 7, was not only not an empty one, but it was true, that which "was said of some, that (in Jesus) John was risen from the dead." (And this consideration serves to explain why it has been that the Life ofA^ollomus of Tyana, by Philostratics, has been so persistently kept back from translation and from popular reading. Those who have studied it in the original have been forced to the com-ment that either the " Life of Apollonius" has been taken from the New Testament, or that the New Testament nar-ratives have been taken from the "Life of Apollonius," because of the manifest sameness of the means of con-struction of the narratives. The explanation is simple enough, when it is considered that the names fesus, He-brew J^^ and Apollonius, or Apollo, are alike names of the sun in the heavens ; and necessarily the history of the one, as to his travels through the signs, with the personifi-cations of his sufferings, triumphs, and miracles, could be but thehistory oftheother, wherethere was a wide-spread, common method of describing those travels by personifica-tion.) It seems also that, for long afterward, all this was known to rest upon an astronomical basis for the secular ; church, so to speak, was founded by Constantine, and the objective condition ofthe worship established was that part of his decree, in which it was affirmed that the venerable day of the sun should be the day set apart for the worship of Jesus Christ, as Sun-dixy, There is something weird and startling in some other facts about this matter. The prophet Daniel {true prophet, as says Graetz), by use of the pyramid numbers, or astrological numbers, foretold the cutting off of the M'eshiac, as it happened (which would go to show the accuracy of his astronomical knowledge, if there was an eclipse ofthe sun at that time) ; which fastens the event, say, ofthe eclipse ofthe sun at that time. Now, however, the temple was destroyed in the year 71, in the month Virgo, and 71 is the Dove number, as shown, or 71 X 5 ^355» and with thefsh, a Jehovah number. Is it possible that the events of humanity do run co-ordinatelyn2701 ¶177

with these number forms? If so, while Jesus Christ, as an astronomical figure, wastrue to all that hasbeen advanced, andmore, possibly, He may, as a man, havefilled up, under the numbers, answers in the sea of life to predestined types. The personality of Jesus does not appear to have been destroyed, because, as a condition. He was answering to astronomical forms and relations. The Arabian says : "Your destiny is written in the stars." So also, in th—is connection, while from Adam to the flood was 1656years a mark in the re—verse reading of the Parker astronomical square, or 6561 the late Dr. Mahan, in "Scripture Nu-merals," shows that, from the establishing of the Levitical Dispensation to the destruction of the Temple, was also 1656years, or, reversing again, a terminal square of6561 ; thus showing the squaring out, or cornering out, of the entire Dispensation from Adam to the destruction of the temple, in the mystical values of the measuringsquare.n2701 ¶178
