Archangels and 144,000

Archangels and 144,000
  • While studying whether Jesus was an Archangel we learned that Archangels always have to do with God’s presence.
  • We learned that the word “angel” is simply messenger.
  • We also learned that “Arch” angel is simply “chief” or “leader” or “top” etc…
  • We learned that the bible says very little about Archangels and only vaguely mentions them twice.
  • We also learned that the bible points to the book of Enoch for more references to Archangels.
3
Missing Angel Information Found
  • The bible quotes the book of Enoch which was missing for about 1400 years.
  • Enoch has very much to say about angels.
4
The Bible References the Book of Enoch
  • And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
    (Jud 1:14-15 KJV)
5
The Book of Enoch
  • “And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of his Saints To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
    (Enoch 1:9)
6
What Is Enoch About?
  • Primarily Planets and Calendars and Angels and Judgment.
  • The Book of Enoch says there are 7 archangels.
  • Again from Enoch: "I saw. . . paths of the angels," which seems to imply that angel's courses are fixed like those of solar system members.
  • Whether archangels can be identified as the sun, moon and planets or not, they correspond in number (seven) to those members of Mediterranean pantheons that have long been associated with solar system objects and days of the week. Some early Christian documents have also made this archangelic association. 4

4 Creatures of Revelation
  • And the first living creature was like a lion; and the second living creature like a calf; and the third living creature having a face like a man; and the fourth living creature like an eagle flying.
  • (Rev 4:7 LITV)

What are the Beasts and The Elders?
  • Elders are Heads of Zodiac Signs
  • Aries (0°) (The Ram)
  • Taurus (30°) (The Bull)
  • Gemini (60°) (The Twins)
  • Cancer (90°) (The Crab)
  • Leo (120°) (The Lion)

  • Aquarius (300°) (The Pitcher)
  • Pisces (330°) (The Fish)
10
Mayan Calendar Stuff
  • While studying 144,000 we learned that that number is the base of the Mayan calendar which points to the end of the age on the Winter solstice on 12/21/2012.


11
2 Clocks
  • Precession is the “Year”
  • Zodiac Precession are the “Months”
  • 1 Year = 25,800 years
  • 1 Month = 2,150 years
12
Calendars and Planets
  • One thing interesting about calendars and planets in the bible is that the bible uses 2 different planetary calendars and one 50 year Jubilee Calendar.
  • And the number 144,000 is the
    Baktun/Base number of the Mayan calendar. Which predicts the end of the age on 12/21/2012.

Crossing Over the Sea = Crossing the Milky Way
14
144,000 Anointed Christians???
  • 144,000 is the number of “anointed” Christians JW’s  believe will go to meet Jesus in the air and rule and reign with Christ.
  • It’s true that “Overcomers” those who “overcome” the flesh and live by the Spirit will meet Jesus in the air and rule and reign with Christ.
  • What’s purely a “guess” is that the 144,000 virgin males from all the tribes of Israel in Revelation 1 are referring to “anointed” Christians from one specific denomination.
15
What Are The Four Beasts and 24 Elders
  • And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. (Rev 14:3 KJV)
  • What are the beasts and the elders?
16
144,000
  • In the JW book it says that the elite JW’s are the 144,000 who will go to heaven.
  • The problem with that is that Revelation is “signified” these people are also “virgins” from the tribes of Israel.
  • It’s not about 144,000 JW’s who distribute the most booklets.
17
144,000 Male Virgins Anointed Witnesses?
  • And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
    (Rev 21:16 KJV)
  • This celestial city has a circumference of 144,000.
18
144,000
  • “Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.”
  • Revelation 14:1 (ESV)


19
144,000 from Israel
  • saying: "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until after we have sealed the servants of God on their foreheads." And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,
    12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
    12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
    12,000 from the tribe of Asher,
    12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,
    12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
    12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,
    12,000 from the tribe of Levi,
    12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
    12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,
    12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,
    12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.


20
144,000
  • Revelation 14:3-5 (ESV)
  • “And they were singing a new song before the throne and before the  creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. For it is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.
21
Name on their Foreheads
  • And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
  • (Rev 14:1 KJV)



22
144,000
  • Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
  • (Rev 7:3-9 KJV)



23
144,000 are those Led by Spirit
  • First 4 holy days have past.Rev. 4 ends the church age.
  • Then Feast of Trumpets is resurrection and “rapture” or Harpazo of overcomers.
  • After trumpets, using the Holy Days, begins Armaggedon.
  • This is when Physical Israel’s final purification begins. “Days of Awe”
24
Precession
25
Precession
  • The precession of Earth's axis of rotation with respect to inertial space is also called the precession of the equinoxes. Like a wobbling top, the direction of the Earth's axis is changing; while today, the North Pole points roughly to Polaris, over time it will change. Because of this wobble, the position of the earth in its orbit around the sun at the moment of the equinoxes and solstices will also change.
  • The term precession typically refers only to the largest periodic motion. Other changes of Earth's axis are nutation and polar motion; their magnitude is very much smaller.
  • Currently, this annual motion is about 50.3 seconds of arc per year or 1 degree every 71.6 years. The process is slow, but cumulative. A complete precession cycle covers a period of approximately 25,765 years, the so called Platonic year, during which time the equinox regresses a full 360° through all twelve constellations of the zodiac. Precessional movement is also the determining factor in the length of an astrological age.
26
Precessional Numbers Everywhere
  • What we learned is that Precessional Numbers are everywhere.
  • 1 degree of precession every 70 years.
27
Changing Pole Stars
  • A consequence of the precession is a changing pole star. Currently Polaris is extremely well-suited to mark the position of the north celestial pole, as Polaris is a moderately bright star with a visual magnitude of 2.1 (variable), and it is located within a half degree of the pole.
  • On the other hand, Thuban in the constellation Draco, which was the pole star in 3000 BC, is much less conspicuous at magnitude 3.67 (one-fifth as bright as Polaris); today it is invisible in light-polluted urban skies.
  • The brilliant Vega in the constellation Lyra is often touted as the best north star (it fulfilled that role around 12000 BC and will do so again around the year AD 14000), however it never comes closer than 5° to the pole.
  • When Polaris becomes the north star again around 27800 AD, due to its proper motion it then will be farther away from the pole than it is now, while in 23600 BC it came closer to the pole.
  • It is more difficult to find the south celestial pole in the sky at this moment, as that area is a particularly bland portion of the sky, and the nominal south pole star is Sigma Octantis, which with magnitude 5.5 is barely visible to the naked eye even under ideal conditions. That will change from the eightieth to the ninetieth centuries, however, when the south celestial pole travels through the False Cross.
  • This situation also is seen on a star map. The orientation of the south pole is moving toward the Southern Cross constellation. For the last 2,000 years or so, the Southern Cross has nicely pointed to the south pole. By consequence, the constellation is no longer visible from subtropical northern latitudes, as it was in the time of the ancient Greeks.
28
Jesus Crucified?
  • We learned that Jesus was killed on a stake not a cross. On lumber.
  • But the day on which that happened was on the first full moon after the earth is “crucified” on cross of the ecliptic and the celestial equator.


29
Sun of God Crucified?
  • On the day of the year known as the Spring Equinox the Sun is crucified.
  • Day and night are equal.
  • Celestial Equator and Ecliptic – the path of the planets are where Sun is “staked” and day and night are equal.
  • Also known as “Passover” or “Easter”
30
Sun “Crucified”
31
Planets are for Signs and Seasons
  • And God said, Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years. (Gen 1:14 LITV)



32
The Planets Speak
  • To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the expanse proclaiming His handiwork. Day by day they pour forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. (Psa 19:1-2 LITV)



33
Revelation is Symbols
  • A Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him to show to His slaves things which must occur quickly. And He signified by sending through His angel to His slave, John, (Rev 1:1 LITV)



34
Calendars are Important in the Bible
  • Israel used a lunar calendar.
  • We use a solar calendar.
  • The Mayans use a conjunction calendar.
  • God uses planets rule timing.
  • Moad in Hebrew is “appointments”


35
Astrology has existed since the beginning of time
  • 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:
    (Rev 12:1 KJV)



36
Archangels are the “Luminary” Planets
  • The bible speaks only twice of archangels.
  • Chief Messengers.
  • But points us to the book of Enoch.
  • Enoch is all about Astrological calendars and numbering systems to mark time.
  • Archangels are the planets that light up the night such as Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter.
  • The Sun lights up the day.
37
Archangels
  • Their names mean different things but they are in God’s presence. Luminous planets reflect the light of the sun.
  • The message they bring is that what’s happening in the heaven’s is what God is going to do in the earth.


38
Enoch and Archangels
  • The Book of Enoch says: "And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel looked down from heaven...“
  • Archangels are defined by Webster as follows:
  • arch an gel (ark anj l) n. [[ME < OFr archangel or LL (Ec) archangelus < LGr(Ec) archangelos < Gr archos (see ARCH-) + angelos, ANGEL]] 1 
    1. a chief angel; angel of high rank. . .
  •      Note Webster's reference to "(see ARCH-)." When most members of the solar system are seen, they follow an arch in their journey across the sky. This, plus the fact that some archangels are pictured standing upon, wearing or holding a sphere (often with an "x" in the center) suggests that the word from which "archangel" was translated may originally have applied to the sun, moon and planets. Many ancient peoples personified the planets and endowed them with superhuman abilities.
  • Again from Enoch: "I saw. . . paths of the angels," which seems to imply that angel's courses are fixed like those of solar system members. Physicist and Nobel laureate
  • Whether archangels can be identified as the sun, moon and planets or not, they correspond in number (seven) to those members of Mediterranian pantheons that have long been associated with solar system objects and days of the week. Some early Christian documents have also made this archangelic association. 4


39
Book of Jubilees
  • The Book of Jubilees claims to present "the history of the division of the days of the Law, of the events of the years, the year-weeks, and the jubilees of the world" as secretly revealed to Moses (in addition to the Torah or "Law") while Moses was on Mount Sinai for forty days and forty nights. The chronology given in Jubilees is based on multiples of seven; the "jubilees" are periods of 49 years, seven 'year-weeks', into which all of time has been divided. According to the author of Jubilees, all proper customs that mankind should follow are determined by God's decree.
40
Luminaries
41
Angels
  • The “stars” are the other night lights.
  • But the brightest are the Archangels.
42
Bible Calendars
  • Civil Year – Begins at Spring Equinox
  • Holy Year – Begins at Fall Equinox
43
Mayan Calendars
44
Baktun
  • From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • A baktun is 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar. It contains 144,000 days or 400 tuns or nearly 400 tropical years.


45
Mayan Calendar 144,000
46
Mayan Venus Cycle
  • Another important calendar for the Maya was the Venus cycle. The Maya were skilled astronomers, and could calculate the Venus cycle with extreme accuracy. There are six pages in the Dresden Codex (one of the Maya codices) devoted to the accurate calculation of the location of Venus.
  • The Maya were able to achieve such accuracy by careful observation over many years.
  • There are various theories as to why Venus cycle was especially important for the Mayans, including the belief that it was associated with war and used it to divine good times (called electional astrology) for coronations and war.
  • Maya rulers planned for wars to begin when Venus rose. The Maya also possibly tracked other planets’ movements, including those of Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter.
47
Beginning of Mayan Calendar
  • A different form of calendar was used to track longer periods of time, and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This form, known as the Long Count, is based upon the number of elapsed days since a mythological starting-point.[3] According to the correlation between the Long Count and Western calendars accepted by the great majority of Maya researchers (known as the GMT correlation), this starting-point is equivalent to 11 August 3114 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian calendar or 6 September in the Julian calendar (−3113 astronomical).
48
Lunations
  • Many Maya Long Count inscriptions are supplemented by what is known as the Lunar Series, another calendar form which provides information on the lunar phase and position of the Moon in a half-yearly cycle of lunations.
49
Mayan Calendar
  • A 584-day Venus cycle was also maintained, which tracked the appearance and conjunctions of Venus as the morning and evening stars. Many events in this cycle were seen as being inauspicious and baleful, and occasionally warfare was timed to coincide with stages in this cycle.
  • Other, less-prevalent or poorly-understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 819-day count is attested in a few inscriptions; repeating sets of 9- and 13-day intervals associated with different groups of deities, animals and other significant concepts are also known.
50
The Mayan Calendar and 144,000
  • God’s Kingdom will begin at the end of this age.
  • When is the end of the Age.
  • Every 2160 years approximately an age ends.
  • The last age began when the Spring Equinox Sun crossed into Pisces.
51
Pisces the Age of the Fishers of Men
52
Aquarius is the Next Age to Start
53
Precessional Year
  • Last 25,800 Years – Also called a “Great Year”
54
Precessional Months
  • 25,800 Years /12 Zodiac Signs = 2150 years approximately.


55
Last 3 Great Months – Age of Aries
  • The Orion Mystery – shows that the Sphinx and the Pyramids are markers to the beginning of the last precessional cycle. 10,800 BC. Marks ages by Facing due East on Spring Equinox.
56
Tabernacle Faced East
  • Why does the Tabernacle face East?
  • And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah. (Num 2:3 KJV)
57
Sphinx – Virgo and Leo
58
Precessional Time Measurement
  • Rising Sun on the day of the year when day and night are equal.
  • Also known as Easter.
  • Spring Equinox.
  • When last star sets that age ends.
  • That ages star has set.
