Jesus answered and said, “You will become the thirteenth, and you will be cursed by the other generations—and you will come to rule over them. In the last days they will curse your ascent [47] to the holy [generation].”
While analyzing low frequency radio wave images taken by the Very Large Array telescope at Socorro, New Mexico in 2002, Dr. Hyman and his his fellow researchers detected an intermittent signal that seemed intelligently directed. The signal consisted of five highly energetic radio emissions of equal brightness that lasted 10 minutes each and appeared every 77 minutes over a 7-hour period from September 30 to October 1. The discovery has left Professor Scott Hyman and the entire astronomy community "scratching their heads".
What are these strange rumblings at the center of our Galaxy? Modern day astrophysicists and astronomers, with their sophisticated scientific instruments, are not the only humans that have contemplated this very same question. In fact, the ancient Mayas, the superb astronomers and mathematicians that they were, also mused on what may exist at the center of our Galaxy. The Mayas knew exactly where this center was located in the sky and had a glyph representing it named Hunab Ku by Dr. Jose Arguelles of Princeton University, but known to the Mayas as "The Galactic Butterfly". Much more, their entire cosmology and extremely accurate calendars were based on the existence and location of Hunab Ku and they believed that the future of mankind ultimately depends on what occurs there.
This story is about what really happens when the sun enters the zodiac's 13th house: An interstellar wind hits our planet. It's a helium-rich breeze from the stars, flowing into the solar system from the direction of Ophiuchus. The sun's gravity focuses the material into a cone and Earth passes through it during the first weeks of December.
The Babylonian star catalogues of the Late Bronze Age name Orion MULSIPA.ZI.AN.NA, "The Heavenly Shepherd" or "True Shepherd of Anu" - Anu being the chief god of the heavenly realms
The stars of Orion were associated with Osiris, the sun-god of rebirth and afterlife, by the ancient Egyptians
In ancient Hungarian mythology, Orion is also a great hunter and warrior, his name is Nimród and he's the mythological father of Hungarians
The word beautiful in the phrase “gate of the temple which is called Beautiful” in Acts 3:2 is the Greek word horaios. According to lexicon definitions by Lindell, Scott, Jones and Thayer this word applies to persons and things. It means in due season especially harvest time. It does not necessarily imply beauty but does imply appropriateness in time.
The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, written several centuries after the worldwide flood, contained the first reference to this gate. After the death of his beloved companion Enkidu, Gilgamesh searched for answers about how to obtain eternal life from his ancestor Noah who resided in the center of the heavens with the gods. After Gilgamesh crossed the celestial sea he came to the gate in the Mountain of the Sun guarded by scorpion men. This gate opened to a passage that led to a paradisiacal land in which there was another sea with a central island where Noah dwelt. This epic was far reaching in that day and time. It was translated into Akkadian, Elamite, and Hittite. It was also adapted and presented as plays. This epic endured in Near Eastern cultures for over a millennium.
In a similar fashion the second millennium BC Egyptian Book of Gates places Ra, the sun god, in a celestial boat passing through successive guarded gates and passages filled with flames to emerge in the waters of Nu represented by a circle or disk in the sky. Ra then entered the boat of the gods that moved to a central island represented by the circular body of Osiris.
The intersection of the circles between Taurus and Gemini is known as the silver gate of heaven. The intersection of these two circles between Scorpio and Sagittarius is known as the golden gate of heaven. The galactic center lies visually from our solar system along a line that passes through the golden gate.

in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest.

It sounds like just the sort of rare alignment that would usher in the Christ...like a thief in the night.

I was just thinking about something along these lines. As we read what is presented plainly, we see one thing...but beyond the words on the paper, I see another.
What is 'the son of man'>?
Are we awaiting something to come from 'beyond us'/'outside of us'.....or should we be looking closer to home for its coming...within us?
Did you know that Jesus supposedly said 'pick up your cross'> ? I find those words so strange coming from a point of view that he was supposed to be a 'sacrifice' for us...but yet he tells us to pick up our own cross.
I think he was leading the way....showing us the degree of love and forgiveness and humility we all must understand and experience at some point.
While many wait for a savior...it as said we would go on to do greater things..that we would 'move mountains'.
What do you think of when you say the words 'christ'? Do you think of this as something outside of you? Im wondering if all the stories of our past have a similar thread to them all for a reason...the offering of 'self' seems to be prevalent in many of them. As we look back at the bible stories, I cant help but to think of the golden bull and link it with a time of Taurus...I cant help but to look at the offering of the Ram in the thicket and think of the 'age of Aries'...I cant help but to not ignore the strange personifications of Jesus as a fisher of men...in the time of Pisces the fish. Before the age of Taurus would of been the time of Gemini (2 in 1, adam and eve, spirit and flesh)....in-between these ages of Gemini and Taurus the Sun would of had a few years (a few hundred yeras actually) rising on the cusp of Orion during the Spring Equinox.
Its as if we have been given stories that maybe even the men who wrote them did not understand the eternal gems that would lay within them for a future people to 'see'.edit on 24-1-2011 by LeoVirgo because: (no reason given)

I really feel its something to think about and that there may be alot more to this whole '13 sign' thing.
The sign opposite in the sky from Ophiuchus is Orion. Now imagine again the Earth tilting to one side, allowing the elliptic path of the Sun to 'cross' up into Ophiuchus or Ophiuchus to seem to 'dip down' into the elliptic path. Now...move your wobble and tilt to about 13,000 years later.
Ophiuchus sits in the general direction towards the center of our galaxy. The ancients called it the 'Gate of the Gods'. Orion sits in the opposite of this direction...which would be considered the 'anti-galactic center' and the ancients called this direction, the 'Gate of man'.
Jesus answered and said, “You will become the thirteenth, and you will be cursed by the other generations—and you will come to rule over them. In the last days they will curse your ascent [47] to the holy [generation].”
Is there more to the whole 12 disciples thing that we have been led on about? Is there a 13 in the true story that was hidden?
Is the number 12 that is throughout so much myth and past stories...seemingly more like a cover for something more deep? Ophiuchus seems to be a 'crossing over' constellation....for as one moves their sight through the sky, observing the signs on the outside of Ophiuchus...starting with Scorpio and move your eyes over to Sagittarius...you 'cross over' the direction towards the galactic center. Our Sun being the center of our solar system offers us so much life in the physical sense...could the galactic center direction offer a deeper 'life' to those that observe and are aware of it> ?
Isnt it ironic that right now, in the constellation of Ophiuchus, Venus the light bringer, sits in Ophiuchus? Is that just happenstance that as Ophiuchus becomes popular on the web...that Venus is in Ophiuchus? Or could there be something more to it...a deeper knowing through the universal mind...that this is not happenstance at all? Its strangely like a dejavu to me.
The stories of Orion is that it was not always a part of the sky...that Orion was placed in the sky. Could it be that it was always there...just not always a part of the elliptic path, the path of the Sun? Is there more to the story about Osiris being cut into 14 pieces and 1 piece not being found...so only 13 pieces of him are put back together. Even though the Sun, over a great years time will move through 14 signs (the normal 12 plus Ophiuchus and Orion) ....
In fact, the ancient Mayas, the superb astronomers and mathematicians that they were, also mused on what may exist at the center of our Galaxy.

Are stories that have been passed onto us...also holding within them a story that is hidden from plain sight to the common reader? Is Ophiuchus and Orion...part of our 'cycle of life' that we all incarnate into as going from "earthly beings" through the 'gate of man'-"eternal beings' through the 'gate of gods'?
Strangely enough, the only sites I found to back this idea that the Sun enters Ophiuchus for half of a great year and then enters Orion for the other half...was biblical sites....which was the LAST place I thought I would find supporters of this idea.

Its said that it takes about 26,000 years for our Earth to 'wobble' back to a place of origin/starting place (snake eating its own tail if you will)...
It is also said that the Sun, just happens to be about 26,000 light years from the galactic center.
Take it for what you will...to me, it rings something. Many things have to be 'just so' for Earth to be and have the life that it has.
