Charlie Hebdo Mocks Europe, Christianity, Orban

The cartoonist-provocateurs at Charlie Hebdo are back in the lime-light for a cartoon of the drowned Syrian refugee child, supposedly intended to mock European Christians for their refusal to admit Muslim migrants into the country, using Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, as the example.

But, as I’ve noted, Viktor Orban is an ethnic Jew whose Christianity is fairly nominal and intended only for political purposes. He  is a corrupt, crony-capitalist opportunist, heavily indebted to Jewish power-brokers, including the former chief Ashkenazy rabbi of Israel.

Furthermore, Hebdo is a leading neo-conservative and pro-Israel instigator for war against Islam that earlier published scurrilous pictures of Mohammed and Jesus, provoking global outrage.

The inflammatory cartoon is more proof that the “migrant crisis” was created by the powers-that-be to incite Muslims against Christians and immigrants against Europeans.

At the same time, the ruling cabal funds virulently racist, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, to which Hebdo itself has contributed.

From the NY Times:

And in a scathing editorial introducing the issue, Mr. Sourisseau made it clear that his intended target was what he called the hypocritical response to the crisis by European leaders and the public. After comparing indifference to the plight of the migrants in France to attitudes toward Jews in 1941, the cartoonist mocked statements by the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, who suggested that an influx of Muslims from the Middle East threatened efforts to “keep Europe Christian.” Mr. Sourisseau argued that this vision of Europe seemed to be based on a version of Christianity from which the ideal of Christian charity had been removed.

  1. One of his cartoons, showing the young boy drowning alongside Jesus walking on water, illustrated this idea. “The Proof That Europe Is Christian,” the cartoon was headlined. “Christians walk on water,” the text read, “Muslim children sink.”

“ISIS-Loving” Danish Teen, Refugee Friend, Murder Mother

A murder trial from last year reveals an ISIS-inspired plot:

Lisa Borch, 15, planned to join ISIS in Syria with her Iraqi boyfriend after the killing

A Danish teenage girl has been sentenced to nine years in jail for murdering her mother in what appears to be an ISIS-inspired killing.

[“appears,” “ISIS-inspired”….]

The Independent reports that just minutes before the fatal assault occurred in October of last year, 15-year-old Lisa Borch had spent hours watching ISIS videos of the decapitations of the two British hostages, David Haines and Alan Henning.

A Danish court heard that the teen planned to join ISIS in Syria with her Iraqi boyfriend, Bakhtiar Mohammed Abdulla, 29. His fingerprints were also found at the scene of the crime and he has been sentenced to 13 years.

Borch originally met Abdulla at a refugee center near her home, the Independent says.

“This murder was cold-blooded, ice cold and committed in a bestial manner,” the prosecution told the court.

The court could not determine which of the pair delivered the fatal stab wounds, and both were found guilty of the murder.”

[Independent]

However, what is not mentioned in this account and in many other accounts is that it was Lisa who called the police after the killing and said,

‘I heard my mother scream and I looked out the window and saw a white man running away. Please come here, there is blood everywhere.’

This could just have been a clumsy cover story that the pair concocted, but it is certainly worth investigating, since we know that there are many people who stand to profit from war/confrontation in Europe.

He claimed to have only arrived to ‘help Lisa’ after the teenager had already killed her mother. But Borch said Abdulla had actually been the knifeman.

The muddled version of events meant the court heard several stories about what actually happened.

Although Abdulla was no longer at the property when police arrived, investigators found his fingerprints in the victim’s bedroom.

Although it couldn’t be established who’d actually delivered the blows that killed Mrs Holtegaard, both of the accused were found guilty of murder.”

Goldmanite PM Takes Over In Australia

Just saw this (h/t to LRC via Zerohedge):

Malcolm Turnbull has confirmed he is sticking with the [Australian] Government’s policies on climate change and gay marriage during his first Question Time as Prime Minister.”

Malcolm Turnbull used to be a Goldman Sachs partner. That makes this a Goldman coup.

Allegedly [he claims it is not certain] Turnbull is Jewish, on his mother’s side.

Climate-Change is the pretext for complete control of economic life.

Gay Marriage is the pretext for complete control of social life.

Edom vs. Israel = Athens vs. Jerusalem

A scholar [I incorrectly assumed the writer was a Rabbi] lets the Kabbalistic cat out of the bag in the piece below.

Unfortunately, Patrick Buchanan and other “third-world armageddon” pontificators don’t seem to get the message.

Or maybe it’s just much easier to kick at another set of victims than to address themselves to the real Masters of the Universe…yes, the guys who pull Goldman’s strings.

“Chanukah is an eight-day annual Jewish holiday. But it also lays claim as the start of western civilization. Not Jewish civilization, which was already old at the time of the first Chanukah in the second century before the common era, and not Hellenic (ancient Greek) civilization, which was also ancient. But the encounter of the West with Judaism, of reason with revelation, of Athens with Jerusalem: that began on Chanukah.

“Man,” said an ancient Greek philosopher, “is the measure of all things.” The Bible disagrees: “the fear of the Lord,” it says, “is the beginning of wisdom.” Who is right? A great debate about G?d and man lies at the heart of the West. From Sinai to Babylon, from the lions to the Crusaders, from the Wars of Religion to the Age of Reason–and of Revolution, from Stalin to John Paul II, from eugenics to a belief that life is sacred, and from globalism to a respect for individual states – even Israel! — it remains the central question. Athens and Jerusalem still are what they always were, the struggling twins of the West.

[ Lila: That would be Esau/Edom versus Israel. Jesus/Christianity is Esau, Paganism is Edom.]

Chanukah commemorates a miraculous victory in a war in 167 B.C.E. A Greco-Macedonian kingdom, centered in what is today Syria, had tried to outlaw the Jewish religion in its homeland in Judea and to replace it with Hellenic culture. Many Jews, in fact, supported that goal. But that is no surprise, because Hellenism had enormous appeal.

Hellenism seemed to have everything going for it. It was up-to-date, sophisticated, and intellectually satisfying. It offered wealth, health, art, and glamour. It represented the entrance ticket to an imperial civilization. Hellenism offered the opportunity to think big.

Judaism sat at the opposite end of the scale. It was old, small, and poor. It had no empire. It had nothing to offer except faith, trust, love, and strength. But those things, it turns out, are items that the human heart cannot do without.

So the miraculous happened. A small band, burning with faith, went on to defeat an empire.

There is, of course, a rational explanation; there always is. “The Syrian-Greek state had passed its prime.” “The Jews had short lines of communication.” “They mastered guerrilla tactics.” “The Greeks overplayed their hand.” “Judea wasn’t worth the bones of a Macedonian grenadier anyhow.” If rational explanations are enough for you, then take your pick.

But if you think that “the heart has its reasons that reason knows not of,” if you think that there is more to life than shifting particles, if you respect science without worshipping it – in short, if you doubt that man is G?d, then wonder at the light of a miracle burning in the dark days of winter.”

Of course, this is an insightful and rich statement taken in simply literary terms. But it is, like Cahn’s Shemitah prophecy, both superficial and misleading.

And, taken literally, it is the very essence  of what it condemns: It is a masterpiece of hubris.

And that is a Greek pagan word that translates very roughly to “the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the gods.”

Hey,Hey, Ho, Ho, Western Civ Has Got To Go!

Remember that famous chant Jesse Jackson led on campus, “Hey,hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go”?

It was directed against the centrality of Western classics in the University curriculum. They were to be replaced by more multicultural texts.

Ever since then, the mud people of the third-world, on whose behalf the meddlesome Jackson claimed to be speaking albeit uninvited, have been blamed for the death of Europe.

No one considered that there was a higher power that had a more malevolent and deep-rooted agenda than a mere revamp of the college canon.

From Jewish Answers:

Whether or not a particular person or nation is a biological descendant of Esau is obviously impossible to determine and not really important; what is essential to understand is that the World view of Esau has been passed down as a cultural inheritance throughout history from Edom, to the Roman Empire, to the Catholic Church, to Modern Europe and most recently to the United States and its ‘empire’ – in other words, Western Civilization as a whole. This World view has obviously been in a constant state of evolution throughout the generations – America, the land founded on tolerance has been a most fertile land for the Jews – Europe, on the other hand, was a nightmare; this dichotomy in Esau’s personality is brought out by our Sages in these two seemingly contradictory sources; on the one hand the Medrash states:

The name Esau has the same numerical value as Shalom (Peace)” (Kalla Rabati,3)

On the other hand, the Talmud analyses a verse in psalms:
‘Do not remove his bit…’(Psalms 140:9) – said Jacob to the Holy One: Master of the Universe – do not allow Esau his hearts desire…this refers to Germany of Edom, for if they were to be allowed loose, they would destroy the world! (Talmud Megilla, 6a-6b)

 

Rabbi: Europe Must Die Before Messiah Comes

Some Rabbis equate Europe, as Christian (at least, in heritage), with Edom, the sworn enemy of Israel in the Old Testament.

This equation is applied especially to Italy and Germany.

Before the Jewish Messiah can arrive, Edom must be destroyed.

The migrant/refugee crisis is the tool to destroy Edom so that the Messiah can establish himself.

Now, one can understand Jade Helm….

 

 

Ashkenazy Rabbi Behind Christian “Nationalist” Orban

Every piece of evidence that I can gather so far suggests that the clash between “Christians” and “far-right nationalists” and foreign refugees/migrants in Europe is stage-managed.

Take a look at Hungary, where the populist government of Viktor Orban has come in for a lot of flak for anti-refugee and anti-Semitic commentary.

This in variably pinned on Hungarian Christians.

Orban is a reform Calvinist, it is said.

But even so, his Christianity was merely nominal until after the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe in the 1990s, when he began voicing Christian positions, a change said to be influenced by his wife’s Roman Catholicism.

Orban’s wife is rumored to be of Jewish extraction.

There was  a story (later retracted) that Orban himself is Jewish.

[Added: This Armenian paper reaffirms the story. Orban has a Jewish mother. That makes him legally Jewish and proves once again that it no conspiracy theory at all that the leading mouth-pieces of the New World Order are of ethnic Jewish descent:

Viktor Orbán heads the Nationalist Party of Hungary. His father was a Gipsy and mother was of Jewish descent. Orbán is married to Anikó Lévai.”

On a thread at a Human Biodiversity forum, Levai is cited as a text-book example of Pamirid (Iranian/Central Asian) descent and Orban himself of Iranian-Indid.

Indid would be the Gypsy side and Iranian would be the Iranian-Jewish side, perhaps.

In addition, one of Orban’s most powerful former ministers, responsible for networking in the US, is Tamas Fellegi who is Jewish and active in government propgrams opposing anti-Semitism.

Neither is Orban a nationalist of the anti-EU kind.

He is actively pursuing Hungarian entry into the European currency union. He is no Euroskeptic.

And now, following German chancellor ex (?)- communist Angela Merkel’s decision to shut off the border to Austria, Orban has declared emergency in certain parts of Hungary:

In response to Germany’s decision to reestablish border controls in order to stem the inflow of refugees, the Hungarian government has declared a state of emergency in the southern Hungarian counties of Bács-Kiskun, Békés and Csongrád, as well as in Pest county.”

What an excellent pretext the Sanhedrin’s intelligence agencies now have to create Fortress Europe and play out civilizational war through proxies in the heartland of Europe, filled with the memories and monuments of Christianity.

Let us look further at Orban, this great Hungarian “Christian,” with his “right-wing” party, Fidesz:

  It turns out that the ranks of the party is drawn from Orban’s own background in the left, not from the right:

In fact, Orbán’s circle, before its sharp turn to the right in 1993 (a purely political manoeuvre), had been drawn in the 1980s from both of the two groups that are now the main opponents of his Fidesz party – first the reform communists, the predecessor of today’s Socialist Party, which founded the ‘elite colleges’ for Orbán’s generation, and later the Democratic Opposition, the predecessor of today’s liberal Alliance of Free Democrats.”

Moreover, in public perception this “nationalist Hungarian Christian”- as he is promoted in the Rothschild media –  is identified with an open looting of the state  on behalf of corrupt cronies that is seen as a worse and more shameless version of communist corruption:

Orbán’s government, although managing not to halt the growth, behaved vis-à-vis the economy in a plundering way that was almost far-left in character. It re-nationalised much of the economy, and siphoned off immense resources of taxpayers’ money to the private accounts of ‘friendly’ companies, thus ending any possibility for the public to exert any control or supervision; then solidified this outrageous lack of transparency by using loopholes and unconstitutionally majoritarian institutional and legislative coups.

In a word, Orbán’s rule was utterly nepotistic – and here comes his ideological innovation compared to the former communists. Yes, Orbán did all this in the name of a belated anti-communist sociological revolution. But that populism is read in Hungary (unlike in Scruton’s study room) as a return to communist ways rather than a healing of the injustice that the nomenklatura-bourgeoisie inflicted on the nation. It is understood as stealing openly, while claiming an ideological justification. Does this sound familiar?”

A little research shows that Orban’s father was actually an ardent Communist and his Catholic wife’s father was an informer for the state.

Orban himself might have been recruited as a Communist spy at one time, although he says he rejected the proposal:

In a short phone interview on Sunday afternoon, Fidesz former economic director and a long-time friend of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Lajos Simicska told Mandiner.hu that thirty years ago Orbán told him he is “supposed to file reports” on Simicska for the secret service. Simicska (pictured right) claims that he believed Orbán (pictured left) when he told him the communist secret service was unsuccessful in recruiting him, but that he does not “believe this to be true any more.”

The media oligarch explained that he started entertaining doubts a year ago, “following the Russian-Hungarian Paks II agreement.” He added that the Russians might have extensive copies of Hungarian secret service documents containing the prime minister’s records, even if Hungarian archives could not locate them. Simicska thinks that Russian President Vladimir Putin might be using these documents to blackmail Orbán into cooperating because “publishing such information could turn this country upside down.”

and

“He recalled that during a relatively friendly conversation, his army station officer told him he had seen his file “which was already ten centimeters thick, even though I was only 22 at the time.” He said that after the 1989 regime change, he was unable to identify his folder.”

and

” In a recent interview former prime minister Miklós Németh told Index that photocopies of the shredded files might still exist in Moscow, because Soviet advisors copied most of these files before retreating from Hungary.”

This allegation has led opposition parties to ask Orban to resign, since blackmail would pose a severe security risk to the country.

Whatever records exist in Hungary are no longer accessible to the public.

In 2014, the Hungarian supreme court forced the Institute of Political History to turn over all its archives (which contained the records of the Hungarian Socialist Worker’s Party and its predecessors – trade unions, socialist and communist groups).

Even if we discount allegations of communist spying as unproven (and unprovable), the facts suggest that Orban is less a Christian nationalist and more a corrupt opportunistic populist, with some outside agenda, as noted here:

Given that political Catholicism outside Hungary moved on from this in 1945, Orbán seems be sixty-five years behind the times. Indeed, it brings to mind the old joke that the difference between liberals and the right in Hungary is that while the former haven’t realized what country they are living in, the right are not clear on which period they are in!
This raises for me two questions. Although Orbán is not unintelligent he is no political philosopher, and we really do have to ask who is influencing his agenda.”

Who?

Well, oddly, for such an “anti-Semitic Christian nationalist” – the identity he is advertising in his performance – Orban has the support of the extraordinarily corrupt Ashkenazy Chief Rabbi for Israel who lobbied for Orban to come to power :

In November 2013 Rabbi Yona Metzger was arrested in Israel on suspicion of corruption and the Magistrate’s Court ordered him to be kept in custody. According to investigators, Rabbi Metzger accepted bribes of an “unprecedented scope”; he received 2.5 million dollars over 10 years while serving as Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel. Mr. Metzger has denied all accusations.

Another suspect in the case is Haim Nissan Eisenstat, who worked as Mr. Metzger’s driver and personal assistant. He was also accused of taking bribes, fraud and money laundering and now he is the star witness against Mr. Metzger.

The investigation has lasted for two years and Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein is ready to issue a tough indictment against Mr. Metzger. Although Rabbi Metzger’s attorneys have indicated that they are willing to accept less severe charges, the prosecutors have rejected their proposal.

As Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi maintained close relations with the Orbán Government and also a group of Hungarian Chabad emissaries. He first visited Budapest in 2003 when Chabad invited him to speak at their Yeshiva.

In 2008 Chief Rabbi Metzger met with then-opposition leader Viktor Orbán in Budapest and discussed, among other things, strategies on how to fight anti-Semitism. After Mr. Orbán’s election as Prime Minister in 2010, Rabbi Metzger frequently met with Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Zsolt Semjén, and Budapest Mayor, Mr. István Tarlós. Mr. Metzger was also the featured speaker at the inauguration of a Chabad Synagogue in Budapest led by Rabbi Shlomo Köves. At that time Mr. Metzger met with the entire Fidesz leadership.

In a 2012 letter, Chief Rabbi Metzger thanked Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for the “magnificent relationship” that he was fostering with the Jews in Hungary. He wrote that he was praying (!) that Orbán should “continue to successfully lead” the country “with dignity, understanding and wisdom.” He added, “may it be His will that the difficult economic situation affecting Europe be put behind you rapidly, and that you will enjoy the benefit of a better and more stable economic situation, that the citizens of Hungary will all be content and at peace in your country, enjoying peace and security.”

As a response to allegations of anti-Semitism made against his government, Prime Minister Orbán quoted Rabbi Metzger’s praise in a memorable speech he gave at the World Jewish Congress Plenary Assembly in Budapest, in 2013.

Details of the criminal charges against Rabbi Metzger are not public yet and there are no specific accusations that he or his associates received bribes for “favors” from Hungarian officials. However, Israeli authorities have indicated that the Rabbi’s corrupt conduct was unprecedented and far reaching.”

Far Right-Wing Attacks On Refugees Linked To Intel

From the International Business Times:

Expanding far right networks are coordinating arson attacks on refugee hostels in Germany, security experts told Der Spiegel. In recent months there have been escalating numbers of attacks on asylum centres in Germany as well as assaults on refugees. An arson attack on a planned asylum hostel in Nauen on Monday, outside Berlin, was the fifth in the country in a week.

“The continuity and number of attacks can’t be explained except by assuming organized structures,” Fabian Virchow of the Working Unit Neo-Nazism at the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf, told the magazine.”

The  same piece lists the names  of the right-wing groups that are allegedly involved:

The Third Way:

Third Way (Der III Weg) is a small, much more recent group than the other two groups named below. Perhaps the exposure of the intelligence connections to the other two groups made it necessary to form another “neo-Nazi” group to perpetuate confrontation using the deceptive moniker of a “third” (moderate, in between, centrist) way. “Third way” in other contexts is not on the right at all, but is informed by the communitarian philosophy behind the false-flag anti-NWO “controlled opposition.”

Be that as it may, Der III Weg has come out with a map of all refugee locations, using Google’s MyMaps.

National Democratic Party:

Ynet news.com reports on the trial of neo-Nazis for the murder of 10 people in 2013. The trial revealed that all had ties to the “right-wing” National Democratic Party and that the NDP had multiple contacts with the German intelligence services, the Bundesamt fur Verfassungsschutz (BfV). $240000 was paid to the neo-Nazi informer over 18 years. The head of the committee that later looked into the times, Sebastian Edathy, was later tarnished by a child pornography scandal, involving a Canadian company.

The scandal exposed a sprawling web of contacts between the secret services and the far right in which the state systematically exchanged cash for information.

In the case of the NPD, the party was often aware of the informants in its ranks.”

Pegida:

Wayne Madsen, writing in January 2015 well ahead of this unfolding stage-managed clash between migrants/refugees and natives, describes it as a Muslim-themed Operation Gladio (see my piece in 2005 on Gladio)

Big picture of PEGIDA Cologne HERE. See this? Mostly normal Germans. No radicals. But by the time so many ordinary Germans are in the streets, we need to examine why they are there, why the intelligence agencies created PEGIDA as a vessel to harness and steer them and where this is going.

PEGIDA is similar to OWS  (Occupy Wall Street) in construct but far more dangerous. PEGIDA has been created to be a weapon against Muslims and a weapon against large portions of the German population.

Consider the contrived ever-larger protest waves in Europe. Look at the new EUGENDFOR special ops police force in Europe.

This is the logistical framework for big things yet to come. Gladio of the 60s and 70s is back. This time it has a Muslim theme. But the efforts on the ground which are visible are far beyond the Hebdo shooting. There is a huge machine on the ground by multiple intel agencies which I can show you (I plan to post more of this) which is ready for a giant fight between Europeans and their many million Muslim immigrants. This is going to become big and be big for years to come. ”

 

 

Germany Reinstates Passport Checks At Border

Germany, as part of the Schengen regime of Europe, did not have passport checks at its borders, making it easy for EU residents and nationals to move freely among Schengen members.

With the influx of Syrian refugees, Merkel has now found the unassailable pretext to reintroduce checks at the Austrian border to prevent “chaos,” chaos that could entirely have been predicted…and probably was:

 Germany is to reinstate controls at the border with Austria as Europe’s top economy struggles to cope with a record influx of refugees, according to media reports Sunday.”

The prospect of European demographic decline coupled with an influx of  high-fertility Muslims from the surrounding regions has been the staple of European nationalist nightmares, from which the notion of Eurabia emerged – a Europe created by Franco-Islamic conspiracy that is hostile equally to the United States and to Israel, or rather, in some views, to Christianity and Judaism.

What is omitted from “Eurabian” style analysis is the rather obvious point that the version of “Christianity” that holds political center-stage in America today is one so thoroughly Judaized as to be a heresy that traditionalist Christians might consider worth opposing.

The same could be said of the liberal Judaism of American Jews, let alone the thoroughly anti-Christian secular spirit of  most cultural Jews and cultural Christians.

On the other side of the equation, “France” and  “Islam” too can be deconstructed:

They  too are golems of the Zionist entity.

As for Islamicization, the chances are much greater that enforced proximity of  Islamic immigrants to European native will give rise to further restraints on speech and thought.

Those restraints, combined with the dissolution of traditional mores, will create nihilism and moral ennui.

In the end, neither Muslim nor Christian will be profited…. nor even the ordinary religious Jew.

This deracinated Europe will only benefit the ruling Sanhedrin.

Eurabia?

If we had one hundredth of the frankness that we devote to sexual matters to give to politics, we would call it Eunuch-rabia.

 

The Return Of The Star Of Bethlehem ?

I missed this while I was away this summer:

CNN, July 1, 2015:

Tuesday night, Jupiter and Venus will culminate a month-long dance with what astronomers say will be a dazzling display, appearing just a fraction of a degree apart from one another in the night sky — a show that some astronomers say could account for the “Star of Bethlehem” mentioned in the Bible.

“To the eye they’ll look like a double star,” Sky & Telescope editor Kelly Beatty said on the magazine’s website.

To see the lineup, look to the west-northwest shortly after sunset.

This isn’t a particularly rare event; such conjunctions are fairly frequent, thanks to how Earth and the two planets line up in the solar system, according to Sky & Telescope.

iReporter Lonna Ours took these photos of Venus and Jupiter on June 21. The two planets are moving closer together throughout the month of June and will eventually appear to converge.

But the combination of how close the planets will appear — one-third of a degree — the viewing angle at many latitudes and the time of day make this a particularly special event that ranks “very highly” among conjunctions, Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan wrote on his website.

Although the planets will appear to draw near one another in August and again in October, the next such event to rival Tuesday night’s won’t happen until 2023, he said.”

This report was plastered all over the Internet in July, along with the “Shemitah” judgment on America.

But pay attention to the “wiggle-room” words in the article: “some astronomers says could.….”

Pay attention also to the admission – tucked away deep in the article- that this phenomenon is not uncommon and not extraordinary at all.

That’s also true of the much-hyped “blood- moons,” that, along with the “Shemitah” cycle, is being used to scare American Christians into going along with the various New World Order charades being enacted on the national and international stage.

Even more tellingly, the real Star of Bethlehem that heralded the birth of Jesus, was not simply a Jupiter-Venus conjunction.

The Jupiter-Venus conjunction was only one of many powerful and unusual astrological events that took place in the time before and after  September 11, in 3 BC, when, by the preponderance of historical, astronomical, and prophetic evidence, Jesus was born.

[9/11 – ring a bell?]

Besides a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, there were also multiple conjunctions of Jupiter (the planet of kings) with Regulus (the star associated with rulership) in the constellation of Leo (the sign associated with the House of Judah).  Every one of the planets were involved in some unusual event in the time around Christ’s birth.

The most revealing astrological evidence is actually already in the Biblical text, in the Book of Revelation.

Contrary to the belief of many Christians, Revelation is not solely a prophetic or forward-looking scripture.

It is a prophetic revelation.

Revelation indeed is the meaning of the word, apocalypse (which is the sub-title of the book).

And what is revealed is not only the future, but the past and the present as well.

In Revelation, the birth of Jesus is described in terms of the configuration of the stars (including the planets).

Here is the relevant passage, Rev. 12: 1:

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.”

At the time of the birth of Jesus in the month of September, the constellation of stars on the horizon would have been Virgo, a sign depicted as a young woman.

The sign of Virgo would have been the twelfth part of the zodiac in which the sun would have risen, hence the text says,  “a woman clothed with the sun.”

The woman also has the “moon under her feet” and a crown of twelve stars to give us a more accurate picture of the exact configuration in the sky at the time of Jesus’ birth.

The arguments back and forth about the exact time and date are too many to include here, but there are multiple “signs in the skies,” of overwhelming aesthetic and spiritual significance.

In contrast, the relatively common “Jupiter-Venus”  conjunction that took place at the end of June 2015 is very far from a return of the “Star of Bethlehem.”
