Historically, the appearance of comets has been interpreted as an omen for our world (see article below, "Comets known to portend tragedy"). While modern "rational" society may pass off such an association between astronomical events and world affairs as nonsensical superstition, there is reason to believe there may be a basis to such symbolic astrology. If, indeed, there is a God who governs this universe, then what better way to reveal His presence than portending our future with symbols in the night sky. This makes it as clear as possible who is truly "The Creator"- God, not man.
To begin with, consider the following excerpt from Moira Timms' chapter on "Astrological Cycles" in her book, 'Beyond Prophecies & Predictions':
| If a star map is superimposed over the Earth with the pole star placed over the terrestial North Pole, we have a celestial clock making one revolution daily. The noon point of that map (like Greenwich) is the Great Pyramid of Giza. Thousands of years ago, Egypt was known as the Land of Khem. The Khema were a group of seven major stars (in the constellation of Taurus), known today as the Pleiades. If the map is placed with the Khema over the Land of Khem (Egypt)- specifically, directly over the apex of the Great Pyramid- then Taurus falls over the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey; Ursa Major, the Great Bear, rambles over Russia; the head of Draco the Dragon coils up over China; Orion (the warrior) over Iran/Iraq; Aries the Ram over Rome, and Capricorn (identified with the god Pan) falls over Panama, Panuco, and Mayapan (the old name of the Yucatan). Aquila the Eagle spans the United States. The analogies are obvious, and quite impressive. This is one of the clearest examples of the law of "As Above, So Below". |
Given how certain constellations symbolize the nations that have emerged in our world, God may signal the rise and fall of given nations with heavenly signs associated with nations' respective constellations. An impressive example of this was pointed out in a long-forgotten book entitled "Cheiro's World Predictions" (1928).
Cheiro, a famous astrologer during the early part of this century, noted in his book that, on June 8th, 1918, a bright supernova appeared in the constellation of Aquila the Eagle, which signifies the United States. As reported at the time: "The brightness of Nova Aquilae in its early days was greater than that of any Nova since the year 1604". What is even more remarkable is that June 8th saw the only solar eclipse in the year 1918, and this eclipse was conjunct Jupiter, the planet of rulers, and squared by Mars, the planet of war.
The solar eclipse and supernova in Aquila the Eagle in early-June of 1918 coincided with the United States entering the Great War in Europe (i.e., World War I) at the time and the subsequent turning point in that war. By July of that year, American troops backed the Allies in starting to reverse the gains made by Germany and the Central powers up to that point, and, by November of 1918, the tide has turned completely with Germany's surrender and an Allied victory.
Thus, a profound and rare astronomical event occurred- the supernova in Aquila the Eagle along with a solar eclipse- in June of 1918 that marked a critical juncture at which the United States started to become an important world power. American involvement in the European war in 1918 was the first time the U.S. took on the role of a world power. From that time on, the rise of the United States to the ruling world power of the contemporary age began. This historical turning point for America was reflected in the sky according to the law: "As Above, So Below".
Now a great comet has appeared in the sky and is passing by the Big Dipper- the constellation of Ursa Major or the "Great Bear". As indicated by Moira Timms in the paragraph above, this constellation represents Russia. What is even more remarkable about this passing comet, however, is that it is appearing between an alignment of Mercury, Mars, Saturn and the Sun and Moon with the Spring Equinox on March 20th and a total lunar eclipse conjunct Mars and squared by Jupiter on April 3rd. Since Mars is the planet of war and Saturn is the planet of fate, some sort of prophetic war should be due. What is more, this war should be associated with the rise of Russia to the ruling world power as symbolized by Comet Hyakutake's pass by the Great Bear constellation. Indeed, the April 3rd lunar eclipse conjunct Mars and squared by Jupiter is like an antithesis of the June 8th, 1918 solar eclipse conjunct Jupiter and squared by Mars. Thus, in the way the prior eclipse marked how America became a world power with the first world war (and then second world war), maybe now Russia is going to become the reigning world power by way of a third world war against America.
"Comets known to portend tragedy."
By Jules Crittenden
Take the Great Comet of 1811. Napolean should have been paying attention, but he wasn't, and the following year he lost most of his Grand Armee in Russia.
Julius Caesar's murder by treachery in 44 B.C. was followed by the appearance of a comet dubbed Caesar's Crown Jewel. Halley's comet sparked fears of destruction when Earth passed through its tail in 1910 oddly, nothing happened.
But Kohoutek showed up in 1973 - not a good time for Richard Nixon. Right now, the comet Hyakutake is coursing through our own northern sky. It should be easily visible tonight around 9 p.m., just below the Big Dipper, like a moon-sized, aquamarine-tinged piece of cotton candy, with a star-like core.
"This is certainly the biggest comet I have ever seen," said Alan MacRobert of Sky & Telescope magazine.
He spotted a dim tail leading off to the upper right and advises stargazers to head out of the city and use binoculars for the best view.
As for consequences, it's not clear that Hyakutake bodes any ill for us. Former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn and House Speaker Charlie Flaherty are having their problems, but who's calling them great leaders? Bosnia's quiet and things are cooling off in the Taiwan Straits.
"There will be pestilence, war and the downfall of great leaders in the future, if the future is anything like the past," MacRobert said. "But that has nothing to do with the comet. The comet is a ball of ice and dust that doesn't care anything about what happens on Earth."
