The Timing of the Life of Jesus
In my initial awareness (divinely inspired) of the meaning of The Prophecies of Nostradamus, I was driven to see the truth, while making mistake after mistake about how that truth was presented. At first, I was trying to see astrological meaning coming from the words written by Nostradamus, from my having studied that art and been certified (and licensed) as a qualified astrologer (1991). I came to realize that was not the way to read astrological terms. Astrology is a language that most people cannot speak. Even those who are well-trained astrologers (those who sell their knowledge to clients and write books on the topic) are locked into an astrological syntax that is missing divine guidance.
Astrology is a tool; and, like any tool, it is only as good as the tool user’s ability use a tool. In my association with a group that called itself an “astrological society,” there was one woman who rose to prominence by proclaiming she was a “psychic astrologer.” This (to me) meant she was less concerned with reading all the colorful lines a computer printed natal chart produced (from an astrological computer program) and more concerned with what impressions came into her mind, as she looked at a chart. If anyone remembers the psychic who had a television show syndicated (John Edwards), she was like that, only she was prompted by looking at an astrological chart. I have met with psychics that ask to hold something of the one they are reading (like a watch, ring, or favorite item), which they claim allows them to pick up images.
One of the men who have made a dollar from doing soundbites for History Channel productions about Nostradamus (Peter Lemesurier) has written that Nostradamus was not a very good astrologer, as he produced charts that had two suns. Perhaps, Nostradamus was more like a “psychic astrologer” and two suns was something Mr. Lemesurier misunderstood? I was privileged to request membership into a Peter Lemesurier online ‘club,’ and be accepted. It seems he and his closest buddies (one named Mario) liked to welcome new ‘fans’ of Nostradamus, so they could berate them as ignorant idiots. I was divinely led to join that group, as it became a valuable step in my advancement in understanding Nostradamus, which Mr. Lemeseurier would never understand.
I present this ‘ancient’ history because I came to separate Nostradamus from astrology, as I clearly saw the astrological words in the quatrains and letters were language, not the art of calculation, for prophecy. Astrology became (to me) a second language that I no longer attempted to speak to others (either as a teacher or astrologer). Because I did not have a need to speak it regularly, it simply blended into my background, like a dusty book on a shelf. It was always ready to be reused, if anything requiring that language be spoken came up, but otherwise it was dormant in my being.
When I met my wife (another story of divine intentions, for another time), we were drawn together by the hand of Yahweh. While we were drawn together physically, both of us realized our meeting was far beyond the ordinary, as clearly extraordinary. When we became officially engaged, we were living together due to the ravaging of Hurricane Katrina, rather than ‘just shacking up’ or ‘hanging out.’ By then, we knew Yahweh had placed us in each other’s care; and, because my wife was born and raised as an Episcopalian, I began to go to church with her each Sunday, at a local (relocated after the storm) Episcopalian church. It was then that I began to see how being divinely led to understanding the language of Nostradamus also applied to the divine language of Holy Scripture. I was amazed at what Scripture was saying, and I told my wife what I was seeing, based on the divine syntax of The Prophecies, and my wife could see what I was seeing.
That led me to begin (slowly at first) to write articles explaining the verses that would be read aloud each Sunday in an Episcopalian church (as well as other Catholic churches, like the Roman Catholics and Methodists). It was possible to get a jump on what would be read by looking ahead at the lectionary website for the Episcopal Church. I began to delve into Holy Scripture and write my insights (based on this divine syntax of Godly language), while discussing everything with my wife. She loved to hear what I had to say, and she had her own ability to be a “psychic lector.”
The point of the Episcopal lectionary (and all the ones with the same schedule) was this schedule of readings was divinely influenced, to those souls who truly served Yahweh, as saints reborn in the name of Jesus. It is the only reason to go to a Catholic service (in my mind). When a priest is likewise a Saint and led to understand the divine reasoning behind the grouping of certain readings (one from each the Old Testament, a Psalm, an Epistle, and a Gospel reading) is they all link to one another, where the grouping is to show a central theme. This means the purpose of a priest – one divinely inspired – is to teach the congregation how to see that theme. Most times this ‘thread” is very thin and needs to be explained deeply, but sometimes (like Good Shepherd Sunday) the theme is like a thick cable, impossible to miss.
The problem with the Episcopal Church, which my wife and I realized, is there are no priests (at least where we went to experience) that are Saints. None of them know anything about the truth of Holy Scripture. The priests then go stand at a podium and relate childhood stories that do nothing to get the pewples to rise up Spiritually and become priests themselves. A Church that does not move the people to become priests in the name of Jesus is dead. Thus, this realization was what Yahweh was leading my wife to realize – part of the reason she and I were put together as a pair of Saints in the name of Jesus – was she must become a priest that was divinely inspired to move people to act towards Salvation. So, she was discerned as worthy, sent off to seminary (me in tow), and the ordained (deacon at first then) a priest of the Episcopal Church.
I tell this story because, like my separation of my knowledge of the language of astrology was dormant, when I was in a church environment, especially after my wife became a priest, I set aside all my Nostradamus knowledge. It was my knowledge of the divine syntax that I was led to realized that made it possible for me to discern The Prophecies, which in turn led me to understand the deeper meaning of Holy Scripture. Both my wife and I had lived into our fifties without having read much of anything relative to Scripture from the Holy Bible. Both of us had been raised in Christian churches (of two very different sects) and had head Scripture read and quoted, but (especially for me) only those times when we most paid attention in church (Easter and Christmas) was about the limit of our knowledge of verses (plus Psalm 3:16).
This means as I entered my sixties, I had heard the Christmas stories many times over, especially with the production of A Charlie Brown Christmas being watched every year for decades, with Linus quoting the Holy Bible. I had been raised to know them in church and the television programing began in 1965, so I had all that down to memory before I first began to understand who Nostradamus was or study astrology (began in 1975). All of that had become separated in my brain, so I knew not to cross one into the other, without risking making someone upset. Add to that, when my wife was first ordained as a deacon, the voice within my head told me to begin a three-year task, which was write analyses of every possible reading for each Sunday in the Episcopal lectionary AND then write a short sermon that connected ALL of those reading possibilities (not just the four selected, if there were multiple options) with what my wife and I affectionately called that “silver thread.” I was told to do this to assist my wife in writing her sermons, so she would have my insights to ponder before letting her divine inspiration lead her to write. In this process, I was speeding well ahead of the lectionary calendar AND I was writing deeply detailed explanations about Nostradamus. I was writing so much and so fast that I ended up getting one of the worst cases of carpal tunnel modern medicine (where I was living) had seen (another story for another time).
With all of this going happily along in my life, I sat alone in the nave before my wife would begin the Sunday service (in mid-November 2016) and began reading the handout for that Sunday’s readings. For some reason, my mind projected ahead to the Christmas stories (which I had written about and published on my website at that time) and the Epiphany story of the “Three Wise Men.”
It then divinely dawned on me. The voice within my head asked me, “Can you see it!” My response was a silent, “Yes!” The language of astrology was seeped in those Christmas stories, but I had kept my knowledge of astrology so separate from the Bible verses I did know, I could not see the obvious. The star of Bethlehem was the Sun! The Wise Men were astrologers, who had cast a chart well in advance of the birth of Jesus, which was so obvious to them that an amazing birth was coming, they would have planned a trip to Jerusalem up to a year in advance (without traveling by night).
In my past attempts to see if I could see Jesus as a Pisces (born in February-March), I had been guessing (not divinely led) and the guesses led to nothing more than confusing mess; so I knew to leave that alone. With this new revelation, I was divinely led to find a scholar who had posted a timeline of the history of Herod and other events stated in the New Testament, with his assessment of when Herod ruled being the foundation for determining a birth year for Jesus. Once I was led to come up with the birth year, I was led to realize Jesus (as the Son of Yahweh) would be born on a Shabbat (Sabbath), with that being relative to Passover (a springtime event). With my being led to see the logic and reason that matched the Biblical text, I entered an ‘educated guess’ into my astrological chart software and low and behold a miraculous chart appeared before my eyes. I had been led to know the actual birthdate of Jesus, while led to assume he would be born when the Sun was high in the sky (not night), as Jesus was the light of the world, like the Sun.
I quickly threw together a presentation for those in my wife’s church who signed up to be told this revelation. Soon after Christmas and New Year (2017), that church (which was struggling financially) could not continue to pay my wife to be their priest, without dipping into their savings. Instead of having that church do that, my wife communicated with the Canon to the Ordinary of our Diocese, and he recommended out of state positions that were available. My wife applied to a few and was interviewed and offered a position at one church. She took that and we moved to that state in March 2017.
Because I was disappointed in the attendance for my program (4-weeks) in the church we had left, I retooled and presented a new program to my wife to approve, which could be presented to those signing up in her new parish. She advertised it and only a few more were attracted to the topic. For that reason, I was more concerned with alleviating the fears of Christians about astrology, so this new 6-week program dealt with quoting Scripture that seemed to warn about such things, when it really warns about evil users of divine tools. It was in preparing for this new program that the six weeks fit in perfectly with the Easter season, which is Easter Sunday, followed by six additional Sundays, leading to Pentecost. I had been led to realize (and calculate a chart for) Jesus born on the day before Pentecost (the Jews call this Shavuot). This is also the day he was Ascended, meaning Yahweh had His Son be born and rise Spiritually to Him on the same day of the Hebrew calendar (5 Sivan).
Not long after that program was completed, with those who did attend thanking me for making things clear that they did not understand, my wife had medical issues, which eventually was diagnosed as a stage four (terminal) cancer. She was forced to retire from active ministry. Because her daughter has her only grandchild (at that time) and was pregnant with a second, my wife wanted to spend the remaining time alive close to her daughter and grandchildren. So, we moved back to where we had been, only closer to her daughter. All the while, my wife was receiving chemo treatments, which would leave her weak for a week, then regain strength for a week, before going for another treatment.
Because I was not satisfied with the two prior presentations I had made, nor the limited number of people informed, when my wife’s condition became somewhat stabilized, I began writing a book that explained this which I felt needed to be known. As I wrote, my wife cross-stitched a picture for her oldest grandchild. I cared for her needs primarily, writing when she was sitting or resting. Because my wife was the ‘brains’ of this pairing of Apostles Yahweh had brought together, I asked her if she felt up to editing the drafts I was creating for a new book. She happily said she was and wanted to read what I had to write (having been to both presentations at her churches); so, as I would finish a chapter, I would email it to her and she would read and make necessary changes in grammar, before emailing me those edits. She, therefore, became the editor of our book.
As I wrote, I was led to steer clear of the attempts to soothe people’s fears about astrology. The tool of astrology is as a measurement of time. Because I knew the birth date of Jesus, I could also establish when the events of his life, reported in the four Gospels and Acts, took place. As I was led to write what would become a timing of Jesus’ life, with nothing about Biblical warnings against divination, my wife told me, “This is not the same as your presentations.” I told her I knew that and that I was led to go in this direction. I asked what she thought of it; and, she said, “I love it. It needs to be told.”
My wife’s condition would deteriorate, such that my caring for her needs took me away from finishing that book. She would pass physically; but her soul has remained with me. I am her and she is me and together we live with the soul of Jesus in my body of flesh. After doing the rituals of burial, the year following brought the scare of COVID19. I placed the ashes of my wife (the majority of them, the ones that were cancer-free) into the sea that she loved. Her soul and the captain of the sailboat we traveled on were the only participants in that funeral. My wife was loved by everyone she met. There were other Episcopal priests (women) who claimed they loved my wife and wanted to attend her funeral. Alas, I buried my wife during Holy Week, on the Saturday (Sabbath) before Easter; so, all her priestly girlfriends were unable to attend a once-in-a-lifetime event. As it would be, due to COVID19, the Episcopalian Church slammed its doors shut during that Holy Week. No one was allowed to attend an Easter Sunday service, due to fears of catching the common cold.
Oh well. I believe that speaks loudly about how many true Saints there are in that Church.
Anyway, I wanted to show the cover of the book that I produced after I had plenty of free time to write the last chapter. I list my wife as the editor, which she was. Amazon shows her scholastic achievements as mine, when I clearly made those awards be of the editor, not the author. Please note the QR code next to the front cover. This is generated by the printer, Ingram Sparks, and (if scanned) it will take one to their website, where the cover (maybe also the back cover) is shown, along with a blurb and details about the physical book. A discounted price is also made available through going directly through them. I am not promoting sales; but if one is interested, this is a secure and safe way to make a purchase, dealing directly with the printer.
The front cover shows the astrological chart of Jesus. Look and see how the many red lines appear to form a triangle. That is signaling a T-cross, which is a powerful astrological configuration. This chart is one that would draw immediate attention of Magi (divinely led astrologers) and let them know a special birth would be associated with this chart configuration. Also, the ancient astrologers only had seven celestial orbs to consider; and the red lines connect five of those seven (along with the points call the Ascendant-Descendant and the Midheaven). When the modern discoveries of three additional planets are factored into this chart, two of those three ADD red lines to this configuration. It is an amazing image that needs to be seen.
