Among some of the intellectuals, we may surmise that they viewed the myths as ascending from a true core, that was perverted and over time became legend. Again, this type of attitude is present in contemporary society. All of the Saviors of the Gentile nations, including Jesus who originally was a Jew, can be referred to as Solar Gods, Gods of the Sun. In other words, their births, lives, and deaths can be correlated to the Transit Cycles of the Sun. When the ancients formulated their religious beliefs, they used the Image of the creator God (that is to say the Cosmos) as their pattern. They personified the elements of the Cosmos, and recorded the movements of the stars and planets as personified deities and demons. They conjured fables and tales that hold exact correlation to the planetary (includes all elements of the universe) movements within the celestial heavens.
We are now ready to explain why all of the ancient saviors mentioned earlier were alleged to have been born on December 25th and there are quite a few to which this event was described.
In astronomy/astrology, the beginning of cycles, that is to say, the Conception of a cycle is determined by a Conjunction, the point where elements of the universe Intersect (form a CROSS), or Pivot, or Join, or Come together, or Cross paths, or Occult each other. This is very important and will have a major impact upon the later creation of the crucifixion of the Sun-Gods.
This might be alarming for you to even consider, but within the New Testament is recorded the stories of these pagan solar-myths and the crucifixion of the sun as personified and applied to Jesus and his crucifixion.
The moon cycle begins at the new moon, the point at which the path of the moon around the earth intersects between the sun and the earth. This point of Conjunction commences a new moon cycle.
The summer cycle begins when the Sun reaches it's highest point in the celestial heavens at 23 1/2 degrees north declination, and pivots so as to retreat southward toward it's Fall. Thus, a Pivotal point commences a new cycle.
The Fall cycle (autumn) begins when the ecliptic of the sun crosses the celestial equator in the west. This point of intersection is the Genesis for fall type weather, a seasonal change. Thus this "Crossing" commences a new cycle.
The Winter cycle takes control when the sun bottoms out at it's lowest point south of the celestial equator and pivots so as to return to it's former position. Thus, the struggle of the sun to regain that (position) which was lost is the dawn of a new cycle.
And the Cycle which the Ancients saw as the greatest of all, was the cycle of the new year. The point and time at which the ecliptic of the Sun, rising northward in the sky from its winter position, intersects the celestial equator at the Vernal Equinox.
This date March 21, was traditionally the commencement of the New Year. In ancient times, as well as today, they celebrated the victory of the Sun over the forces of the nether world (darkness). The ancient Gentiles, lacking the understanding of the laws of Science, foolishly believed that the Sun was emerging into it's glory since defeating the powers of the great Typhon, that evil serpent that lurked and prowled in the perilous celestial waters (the ancient writers often used the terms "waters and seas or rivers" in reference to regions of Space or the Cosmos), beneath the celestial equator (the winter with longer dark days). This point of the Sun's crossing the earth's equator in rising northward in the sky at the vernal equinox was the forecaster of new life, of Spring, fresh vegetation, greenery and relief from the oppressions of winter. It was the time, or beginning of the time (season) to plant new seed under the bosom of the earth, to Impregnate mother earth so that she may bring forth new life in her time. But not only did man Impregnate the soil of the earth by implanting her with his seed, the ancients surmised that the SUN, on this date of March 21, was indeed Impregnating the Cosmos with the Seed of Life for a New Sun, an Heir to His Throne of Glory (get ready for an immaculate conception). Remember in the Sun's northward track in the heavens the ancients were soon to expect Spring and Summer when the "dead" vegetation would bloom again and be "birthed anew."
On this date, March 21 (the beginning of spring), the ancients saw (perceived) the celestial Sun (God the Father) Impregnating the Cosmos (Virgin Mother) with the Sperm of Life (Rejuvenating Element) that would one day produce a New Sun (A Savior, A Christ) to replace and Renew the Kingdom of the Sun, once this present Sun's time had passed. We now have a virgin birth and this same story was told about one Sun-god after another from nation to nation for thousands of years. Christians believe it today.
The early Greek-Jews of Alexandria, Egypt, even altered the Old Testament when they changed the word used by Isaiah ("young woman") the prophet and used "virgin" instead in their translation, or should I say, mistranslation, of the Septuagint (LXX). To sell a Jewish Rabbi to the world, since Judaism was a world religion at that time, it was necessary to recast Jesus in the form of the Gentile godmen if they had any hope of "selling" a Jewish Rabbi to the nations as a new godman.
This date, March 21 (the beginning of spring...the Spring Equinox), marked the commencement of the period of Gestation for the future Savior (Sun) of the World. Now watch this!
We know that human gestation last for 280 days so it is also, with the Sun God. Most people think that human pregnancy lasts for 9 months, but that is an approximation. Check your encyclopedia or medical book, and you will discover that the actual term is for 280 days.
The period of Gestation for the Macrocosm (Celestial Sun-God) is the same as his Microcosm (Created Image) i.e., the Son Of God, as well as the human species in total. Let us Count the days leading from March 21 (the vernal equinox when the Sun crosses the equator in its northward track in the heavens) to see where 280 days will take us:
That adds up to 280 days!
Now, we can easily see that Jesus Christ and all of the Gentile Saviors referred to in these articles were Born Right On Time, three days after the winter solstice, at the stroke of midnight on December 25th The evidence is clear that the Prophecy of the Birth of a Coming Savior was Astronomical, in Origin. The ancient Sages personified (gave human names and characteristics) the elements of the Cosmos, in order to produce a Theology (Mythology) that was intellectually compatible to every level of human society, preservable throughout history, because of it's Esoteric quality, and soundly based on Natural (Godly) Truth.
Answer for yourself: Do you really want the truth before you die? But we cannot end here.
Answer for yourself: Are there other doctrines taught by Christianity and contained in their documents that God never gave you and belief and action based upon them is sin and you might possibly not know it?
