Part Two: The Prophetic Portents Hidden in the ‘96 Thru ‘08 Celestial Signs
NOTE 1: This is Part Two of a Two Part Article discussing the use of Sacred Astronomy in determining the dating of key biblical prophecies. It began with: “Part One: A Celestial “X” Marks An Ominous Spot In History.” Both articles are based on Helena Lehman’s “Language of God Series” Books (see: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/language_series/) available for purchase at www.amazon.com, and http://pillar-of-enoch.com.

In 2007, several major celestial events occurred to strengthen my interpretation of the heavenly signs that appeared a decade earlier - in 1996 and 1997. Incidentally, 1997 was only two years before the close of the 6,000 years allotted for mankind that have elapsed between Adam’s creation, and the end of the Church Age. This Age ended on Rosh Hashanah, September 11th, 1999 - on the same day as the Terrorist attack that occurred two years later in 2001- at the World Trade Center in New York.
The first celestial event in 2007 was the appearance of the extremely brilliant Comet named McNaught, which appeared in the sign of Sagittarius early in January. Interestingly, the centaur/archer symbol for Sagittarius signifies Christ coming to conquer Satan, sin and death via the Cross at His First Advent, and the amazingly long tail of Comet McNaught looked like the giant sword that Christ will wield in triumph when He returns in Glory.
As if in anticipation of that same event, another Lunar Eclipse occurred on Purim - at around midnight on March 3, 2007 - which was very similar to the one on Purim in 1997. Only this time, the eclipse occurred in the sign of Leo, the Lion - a symbol for the Lion of Judah, who is Christ. As such, Leo represents Christ coming to assume His role as the King of Israel at the end of the Great Tribulation. At that time, Christ will conquer Israel’s enemies, and set up His Millennial Reign on Earth. Before discussing the last celestial sign of 2007, it is interesting to note that the Feast of Purim represents the struggle of Israel against being either assimilated, or destroyed by her enemies.
In modern times - since there is an ever-growing awareness among Christians of their Jewish roots - Purim has taken on a great deal of significance to Christians, as well as Jews. In fact, in addition to the victory of the Jews over the evil Vizier Haman in Persia, Purim now represents the desire of Christians to retain their uniquely Christian way of life, and to find protection from martyrdom. In consequence, Purim clearly symbolizes the current ideological war between the Middle East and the West - a war that is a much larger reflection of the unsettling events which led to the first Purim that was celebrated in ancient Persia (i.e. Iraq) over 2,500 years ago. A detailed overview of what Purim means for Christians can be found in my book, “The Language of God in Humanity.” (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Humanity/)
This leads us to discuss the final heavenly sign that occurred toward the end of 2007. Between October 23 and 26, 2007 - and right around the time of the pagan Samhain festival known as Halloween - Comet Holmes grew from a very dim magnitude 17 to a very bright magnitude 2.8. This change in brightness occurred when the comet was near to the bright star named Mirfak (which is also erroneously labeled Al Genib) in Perseus. At that time, the sword-like tail of Comet Holmes was pointing directly toward the Earth - making the comet’s tail appear to disappear, and thus making the comet temporarily look like a bright new star in Perseus.
Though Comet Holmes has faded markedly in brilliance since October of 2007, it has remained in the constellation Perseus since then, slowly doing a big retrograde loop through it. Now - just as Comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp did a little over a decade earlier - Comet Holmes will cross directly over the star Al Ghoul in Perseus on January 22nd, 2008, and it would be remarkable if the comet flares up again in brightness around that date. But even if it doesn’t, could Comet Holmes still be in Perseus for a reason? And is there some significance to three comets visiting the sign of Perseus in the past decade?
In order to understand what this unusual comet crossing might signify, look at my illustration entitled “Orion, Auriga, Perseus, and Aries Treading Satan Underfoot.” In it, note that the very first prophecy in the Bible - Genesis 3:15 - is repeated many times in this section of the Gospel in the Stars. Also, note that Perseus is just one of many Christ-figures in the Zodiac. In fact, Orion, Auriga, and Aries all serve as dualistic representations of Christ’s varied roles throughout history.
In Genesis 3:15, it says:
“He (i.e. Yahshua, a.k.a. Jesus) shall bruise you (i.e. Satan) on the head, and you (i.e. Satan) shall bruise Him (i.e. Yahshua) on the heel.”
This prophecy signifies that Christ will defeat the Antichrist, and his evil followers by crushing Satan’s “head,” or the seat of his power, which currently appears to be located in Africa and the Middle East, but will later encompass all of Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Russia, and the United Kingdom. These nations will unite to form an unholy alliance that will be touted as the Kingdom of God. However, it will not be Christ, but rather the Antichrist who will rule this worldly kingdom in disguise. In support of this, Genesis 3:15 indicates that Satan will hurt Christ by allegorically biting Christ’s people in the heel, or fatally wounding them, just as the adder of the Tribe of Dan will bite the horse’s heels:
“Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider (the Church) shall fall backward.” - Genesis 49:17 (NIV)
The prophecies in Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 49:17 can clearly be seen in the way the Christ-figure Perseus’ left foot rests over the Pleiades in Taurus the Bull, or dual Unicorn. Note here that the horse in Genesis 49:17 signifies the flying horse Pegasus, which also can be seen in the unicorn, and bull symbols used to signify the USA, the UK, and the EU. Meanwhile, the serpent and viper referred to as coming from the Tribe of Dan are the terrorists in the Middle East who are allegorically biting the heels of Perseus’ horse, Pegasus (i.e. the West).
Now, the Pleiades star cluster has a cup-like shape formed by six stars, which resembles the shapes of two constellations formed by seven prominent stars. These are the Big Dipper, or Ursa Major representing the True Church, and the Little Dipper, or Ursa Minor, which signifies the Apostate, or Antichristian Church. Thus, the rider allegorically seen in the Pleiades is none other than a symbol for the Seven Churches of Revelation!
Interestingly, the Pleiades are known as the Seven Sisters, even though only six of the “sisters,” or stars are currently visible with the naked eye. In ancient times, however, it appears that there were seven bright stars in the Pleiades instead of six, but one of these stars has faded markedly since then. This has given rise to myths that one sister was separated from her other sisters for some reason, but would one day be re-united with them. This suggests that the Pleiades has a duality to it, and represents something good (signified by the number 7) that will metamorphose into something evil (signified by the number 6), and then revert again into something good. Could it therefore be that, just as the Seven Sisters myth indicates, one of the Churches of Revelation (the Church of Philadelphia, or brotherly love) is to be taken in the Rapture, while the other six are to be left behind to suffer through the Great Tribulation? This seems to be a likely interpretation, and one that the Western nations should be paying heed to because of their involvement in the Middle East.
In the Star Gospel, Perseus also has two roles. In one, Perseus is Christ coming to slay Satan, that evil being who turns people’s hearts to stone - just as the gorgon Medusa turned people’s entire bodies to stone. In addition, Perseus signifies Christ trampling on the dead bodies of His enemies, as seen in Perseus’ foot over the Pleiades. In fact, the myth of Perseus riding Pegasus depicts the truth that Christ will one day ride to victory on a white horse when He returns to end the Battle of Armageddon! Sadly, however, the Antichrist will try to mimic Christ as a mighty king and conqueror, and his armies will cut off the heads of many Tribulation Saints (see Rev. 20:4) before his own head is cut off, and he and his armies are totally destroyed.
It is interesting to note here that two Bible passages seem to refer to the Perseus constellation by its Hebrew name “Peretz,” specifically in reference to Christ’s triumphant return. These are:
“I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together… like a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make a loud noise because of so many people. The one who breaks open (Allah Peretz) will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the LORD (Yahweh) at their head.” - Micah 2:12-13 (NKJ)
“The Portion of Jacob (i.e. Christ) is not like them, for He is the Maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The LORD of hosts (Yahweh Tsavout) is His name. You are (i.e. Israel) My battle-ax and weapons of war: for with you… I will destroy kingdoms; With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; with you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider…” “ ‘And I will repay Babylon (Iraq) and all the inhabitants of Chaldea (Iran) for all the evil they have done in Zion in your sight,’ says the LORD. ‘Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, who destroys all the earth,’ says the LORD. ‘And I will stretch out My hand against you...’ ” - Jeremiah 51:19-22, 24-25 (NKJ)
Now, note that - in the first Scripture from Micah - “the remnant of Israel” refers to the modern nation of Israel, which is filled with people that have been re-gathered from all the nations. In addition, they are called God’s “battle ax,” meaning that both the literal nation, and the spiritual kingdom of Israel will be utilized as weapons against God’s enemies. This is why the term “Allah Peretz,” which is translated as “the one who breaks open,” is used to refer to Christ! God’s Son is indeed the “Allah Breaker,” who will vanquish the terrorists who follow their Allah, or God!
In this case, Allah - by virtue of his fomenting of war and hate against God’s chosen people Israel - is being recognized in Scripture as Satan. In addition, in the Scripture from Jeremiah, note that the term “break in pieces” refers to the breaking action of Perseus the Breaker against God’s enemies, who are identified as Babylon, or modern-day Iraq, and Chaldea, or Iran, but which encompass all Muslim or Atheist-dominated nations with a hatred for the West. This supports what I have written about regarding Psalm 108 as a prophecy showing that the West will be victorious over much of the Middle East during a coming battle in 2008 or 2009. But be warned! This is not the Battle of Gog and Magog (or the Battle of Armageddon), but a lesser battle that will lead to a false peace, and the visible presence of the Antichrist in world affairs - though he will not be in control of the world yet. After this war, and false peace, there will be a brief, but powerful world religious revival, and then the Rapture will come.
Sometime after the secret snatching away of the saints known as the Rapture of the True Church, the dreaded battle variously known as World War III, Armageddon, the Apocalypse, or the Battle of Gog and Magog will occur. This is when the Pleiades will take on its dual role as a symbol for evil, and will represent the Harlot called the Woman (or Church) who rides the Beast (i.e. Taurus the Bull) in the Book of Revelation. This Woman signifies the unholy ecumenical alliance that has already formed between Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu, Wiccan, and New Age congregations. Some people in these congregations will blindly ally themselves with the Antichrist after the Rapture, while many people in the same congregations who were left behind will recognize, and reject the leadership of the Antichrist. After they do, they will form a resistance movement against the Antichrist, and his evil global government. These rebels will become the Tribulation Saints - many of whom will be martyred for their faith in that final End Time hour, but will later be rewarded by Christ for their courage in the face of overwhelming persecution.
Now, since Sacred Astronomy is a method of determining what God’s Will is during any point in history, I began to look for possible correlations between celestial events, and world political and religious events from 1996 through 2007 that affected both Gentile and Jewish Israel, and the nation called Israel that - along with the USA - is so hated by radical Muslims. What I found is nothing less than shocking, since the Iraqi Disarmament Crisis began in March 1996, and continued through 1997. In addition, Osama Bin Laden declared Jihad, or Holy War against the United States in August of that same year, and Israel agreed to relinquish control of the Israeli-settled Gaza Strip to the Palestinians.
Even before that, in 1995, Israel turned over the West Bank - including the once Christian town of Bethlehem - to the Palestinians. Then they relinquished the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians in 1997. Interestingly, Joseph’s tomb is in the Gaza Strip, which includes a region of Israel that once belonged to the Half-Tribe that sprang up from Joseph’s younger son Ephraim. In my book, “The Language of God in Prophecy,” (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/) I show how the term “Ephraim” pertains directly to the United States of America in Bible prophecy. In support of this connection, the building covering Joseph’s tomb was brutally destroyed by the Palestinians in the year 2000 - just one year before Terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers in New York. Then, in 2003, the Palestinians destroyed the carved stone covering Joseph’s grave.
The destruction of Joseph’s tomb in the region of Israel called Shechem was no accident, but was a symbolic gesture showing the hatred of the Palestinians, and many other radical Muslims toward the modern people of Ephraim. Though Ephraim prophetically signifies Christ’s born-again disciples around the world - it especially represents the saints in America who are outspoken in their support of the nation of Israel!
At the close of 2007, the USA-led war in Iraq that began under the Bush Administration in 2003 was still raging, though this wars’ end may be in sight - in light of the upcoming 2008 presidential elections in the USA. In addition, the November 27th Annapolis Peace Conference in Maryland, which attempted to bring an end to the ongoing Arab-Israeli Conflict of the last century, has come to nothing. This suggests that - as discussed in one of my earlier articles about the prophecy in Psalm 108 - a showdown is coming in either 2008 or 2009 that will be between the United States (along with Israel, and her other Western allies), and the Middle-East.
Ominously, as a sign of troubling times to come for the United States, it was discovered that the tomb of Joseph had been even more savagely vandalized by late 2007. In fact, the Palestinians living in Shechem - who likely know the alleged significance of Joseph’s son Ephraim in Bible Prophecy - had contemptuously turned Joseph’s tomb into a smoking, malodorous garbage pit. Indeed, they show no signs of stopping this outrageous breach of decency, and are continuing to fill it with ever-more burning heaps of garbage. To me, this situation is appalling. I find it hard to believe that the Palestinians could so shamelessly desecrate the tomb of one of the greatest patriarchs in the Bible - despite their hatred of the USA! It’s simply untenable!
Thank God that Yahshua (Jesus) will most certainly bring strong judgment and destruction upon the Palestinians, and everyone else who hates Israel, and refuses to repent of their sins in the very near future.

Article: “The Perseus Prophecy - A Heavenly Portent of Doom, and Hope”

Part One: A Celestial “X” Marks An Ominous Spot In History
NOTE: To better understand this material, see my illustrations for this two-part article series by downloading this PDF article supplement: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/Perseus-Prophecy_Illustrations.pdf
Those who have read my articles about the Zodiac connection of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse with the Mayan date for the end of the world, and/or my other Language of God series books (see: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/language_series/) should be somewhat familiar with the concepts of Sacred Astronomy. For those who want to know more about this ancient mystical science, let me offer this brief explanation.
According to the 1st Century historian Josephus, this celestial science was perfected by the Sethites prior to the Great Flood. This science centered around interpreting the immense storybook that the One Triune God created in the heavens - a story with forty-eight star-studded constellations serving as chapters, and a host of stars, moons, planets, comets, and asteroids serving to set the stage in each.
According to the antediluvian prophet Enoch the Sethite, this celestial storybook reveals every event in human history over a period of 7,000 years - from the creation of Adam and Eve, until the Last Judgment. In this particular article, however, we will only be concerning ourselves with significant celestial events that occurred between 1996 and 2008, just as we focused on future events between 2008 and 2017 in my articles: “The Hidden Prophecy in Psalm 108,” and “The Amazing Heavenly Anti-Peace Sign Formed by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” These past events involve both total Lunar Eclipses, and comets that were visible from various locations on Earth, and which appear to be issuing an ominous warning to all humanity.
First, let's focus on the comet sightings. In 1996 and 1997, the skies over our Earth were visited with two remarkable comets. In both cases, these comets passed through the constellation called Perseus, crossing at right angles to each other over a particular star with an ominous name. That star is named “Rosh Satan” in Hebrew, which means “Head of Satan.” It is also called Al Gol, or Al Ghoul, meaning “The Ghoul.” In ancient times, Perseus actually foreshadowed King David’s slaying of Goliath. In modern times, however, the death of Medusa signifies the much sought-after demise of another diabolical figure in history known as the Antichrist - whom Christ will one day utterly destroy.
The star Al Ghoul appears in the severed head of Medusa, which is being clutched in the heavenly Perseus' left-hand. In Greek mythology, Perseus was a warrior hero who killed the evil snake-haired gorgon called Medusa. Medusa’s head, it was said, could turn anyone looking upon it into stone. The winged steed Pegasus was supposedly birthed from Medusa’s blood, and Perseus rode on Pegasus when he rescued the Princess Andromeda from becoming Cetus the Sea Monster’s dinner. This myth is important because it shows an ancient interpretation of several constellations that are near to each other in the heavens, and which appear to show a hidden knowledge of the original, divinely-written story in the Zodiac that some Christian scholars call the Gospel in the Stars.
Since our western version of Astrology is accredited to the ancient Greeks, it seems shocking that most scholars ignore the fact that almost all Greek religious myths appear to be derived from the 48 ancient constellations of the Zodiac. In fact, this correlation can be seen in the mythologies of all the ancient cultures surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. If we go back to the time before the Great Flood, however, the knowledge of this Zodiac Gospel story was preserved by the Sethites - and later by Noah’s son Shem, whose descendents gradually fell into sin, and idolatry when they perverted the Star Gospel, and created the star-gazing astral religions of the Chaldean, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian civilizations in Mesopotamia.
Now, in the Christian view of these constellations, Perseus is an obvious allusion to Christ, while Andromeda is an allegory for Christ’s Bride, the True Church. Sadly, as long as she is mortal, Christ’s Bride is trapped in the flesh, and in the clutches of sin by Satan, and his demons. This can especially be seen in the figure of Cetus, and the bands that tie the two Fishes of Pisces representing the Two House Church of Judah (i.e. Messianic Jews) and Ephraim (i.e. Born-Again Gentiles) to Cetus’ neck. In addition, anyone who has read the book of Revelation knows of the white horses that the saints, and Christ will ride to victory at the end of the Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 19:11-14). These white horses are depicted in the constellation Pegasus the Flying Horse, which appears above the signs of Pisces and Aquarius.
From this explanation of Perseus’ meaning, it can be seen how relevant its message is to believers awaiting the Rapture, and Christ’s Second Coming. This is why the three comets that have passed through Perseus in the last decade seem to be signs that the end is near. For example, on April 11, 1996, the Comet Hyakutake crossed over the star Al Ghoul in Perseus. Then, one year later - and on the same exact day - the amazingly brilliant Comet called Hale-Bopp crossed over the same star in the opposite direction, appearing to mark a giant “X” in the sky. Could this have been one of the celestial End Time signs that the Bible forewarns us about? (See Joel 2:30-31; Luke 21:25-26.) Could this unprecedented comet crossing possibly signify that we have reached that significant time in history?
I was first introduced to this unusual comet crossing in a book connecting Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid written by the math wizard Bonnie Gaunt. Still, later I read about it in a book called “Signs of the End,” by Daniel W. Matson. These authors alerted me to start paying much closer attention to unusual celestial events, and to pray for the correct interpretation of their divine meaning. This is why, when Comet Holmes entered the constellation Perseus in August of 2007, I was paying rapt attention, and I was not disappointed!
Amazingly, Comet Holmes proceeded to draw a big retrograde loop through Perseus, and has already passed directly by its most prominent star known as Mirfak, meaning “He Who Helps.” In addition, Mirfak has occasionally been labeled “Al Genib,” meaning “The One Who Carries Away.” Before continuing, it pays to note here that the term Al Genib alludes to a hero who undertakes a daring rescue of a friend from imminent danger - and which could be a reference to the coming Rapture. Now, the other bright star that the Comet Holmes will pass through - in early 2008 - is none other than Al Ghoul, a.k.a. Rosh Satan! Thus, it appears that Comet Holmes is gearing us all to look for the coming apocalyptic confrontation between our heavenly Helper and Rescuer, who is Christ, and our devilish adversary - the one infamously known as the Antichrist.
Now, let me add some fuel to the fire lighting this assumption by noting that - to the average astronomer - it seems highly unlikely that three bright comets would cross over the same constellation in less than a hundred years, much less the same exact star in a little over ten years! This leaves me to draw only one conclusion: based on the meaning of Perseus, and Al Ghoul, God is telling sacred astronomers like myself that the time of Perseus confronting the Medusa is very near! In other words, the time when Christ will confront the Antichrist, and the terrifying events in the Bible’s book of Revelation are about to begin!
In verification of my conclusion, there have been five Lunar Eclipses that coincided with major Jewish holidays in 1996, 1997, and 2007. In 1996, there were two total Lunar Eclipses that were ideally viewed from the Middle East, and could be clearly seen from Jerusalem, Israel. The first occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Passover, April 4th, 1996 - in the sign of Virgo, which can be seen as a symbol for Ancient Israel, as well as the virgin Bride of Christ, a.k.a. the True Church. In addition - during daylight hours on that same day - the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn were in the sign of Pisces, and Jupiter was aligned with the Pleiades - and both Pisces and the Pleiades allude to Gentile and Jewish Israel! Soon after - on April 11, 1996 - Comet Hyakutake crossed over the star Al Ghoul in the constellation Perseus.
Then, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles - at around 4 o’clock a.m. on September 27th, 1996 - a Lunar Eclipse occurred when the Full Moon was in conjunction with the planet Saturn in the sign of Pisces. Interestingly, Pisces is allegorically connected to the fate of both Jewish and Gentile Israel, which are represented by the two fishes of Pisces. Meanwhile, the Moon signifies both the apostates in the Church, and the righteous members of Christ’s Kingdom - as seen in the dark and bright faces of the Moon. In addition, Saturn represents the Sabbath, resting from work, and the peace associated with that rest. Since a total Lunar Eclipse fully darkens the Moon, this eclipse allegorically may have been indicating that the peace that both Jewish and Gentile Israel were seeking with their Muslim neighbors at that time would not come any time soon, and that any attempt at peace would ultimately fail.
Even taken alone, the celestial signs in 1996 appeared to be heralding that significant prophetic events were occurring, or would soon occur between Gentile and Jewish Israel, and the world. Coupled with the celestial events in 1997, however, there was no question that they were indeed heralding the imminent fulfillment of End Time prophecies. For example, on Purim on March 24th, 1997 - when Comet Hale-Bopp was at its closest and brightest - there was a partial Lunar Eclipse visible over Jerusalem at around 5 o’clock a.m., in the sign of Virgo. Also during that same day, the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus were in the sign of Pisces. Two weeks later, Comet Hale-Bopp followed Hyakutake’s lead, and crossed over the star Al Ghoul on the same calendar day - April 11th - but a year later, and in the opposite direction.
Then, on September 16th, 1997 - at the start of the Feast of Tabernacles - another Lunar Eclipse occurred over Jerusalem. Uncannily, just as it had in 1996, the Full Moon eclipsed when it was in conjunction with the planet Saturn in Pisces! This celestial event - along with its predecessor in 1996 - was a clear sign to Israel that God was stirring up trouble for them in anticipation of the Great Tribulation. In fact, it seemed to be indicating that Jewish and Christian persecution would soon increase around the world - just as it surely has since then.

Part One: A Celestial “X” Marks An Ominous Spot In History

I was first introduced to this unusual comet crossing in a book connecting Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid written by the math wizard Bonnie Gaunt. Still, later I read about it in a book called “Signs of the End,” by Daniel W. Matson. These authors alerted me to start paying much closer attention to unusual celestial events, and to pray for the correct interpretation of their divine meaning. This is why, when Comet Holmes entered the constellation Perseus in August of 2007, I was paying rapt attention, and I was not disappointed!
Amazingly, Comet Holmes proceeded to draw a big retrograde loop through Perseus, and has already passed directly by its most prominent star known as Mirfak, meaning “He Who Helps.” In addition, Mirfak has occasionally been labeled “Al Genib,” meaning “The One Who Carries Away.” Before continuing, it pays to note here that the term Al Genib alludes to a hero who undertakes a daring rescue of a friend from imminent danger - and which could be a reference to the coming Rapture. Now, the other bright star that the Comet Holmes will pass through - in early 2008 - is none other than Al Ghoul, a.k.a. Rosh Satan! Thus, it appears that Comet Holmes is gearing us all to look for the coming apocalyptic confrontation between our heavenly Helper and Rescuer, who is Christ, and our devilish adversary - the one infamously known as the Antichrist.
Now, let me add some fuel to the fire lighting this assumption by noting that - to the average astronomer - it seems highly unlikely that three bright comets would cross over the same constellation in less than a hundred years, much less the same exact star in a little over ten years! This leaves me to draw only one conclusion: based on the meaning of Perseus, and Al Ghoul, God is telling sacred astronomers like myself that the time of Perseus confronting the Medusa is very near! In other words, the time when Christ will confront the Antichrist, and the terrifying events in the Bible’s book of Revelation are about to begin!
In verification of my conclusion, there have been five Lunar Eclipses that coincided with major Jewish holidays in 1996, 1997, and 2007. In 1996, there were two total Lunar Eclipses that were ideally viewed from the Middle East, and could be clearly seen from Jerusalem, Israel. The first occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Passover, April 4th, 1996 - in the sign of Virgo, which can be seen as a symbol for Ancient Israel, as well as the virgin Bride of Christ, a.k.a. the True Church. In addition - during daylight hours on that same day - the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn were in the sign of Pisces, and Jupiter was aligned with the Pleiades - and both Pisces and the Pleiades allude to Gentile and Jewish Israel! Soon after - on April 11, 1996 - Comet Hyakutake crossed over the star Al Ghoul in the constellation Perseus.
Then, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles - at around 4 o’clock a.m. on September 27th, 1996 - a Lunar Eclipse occurred when the Full Moon was in conjunction with the planet Saturn in the sign of Pisces. Interestingly, Pisces is allegorically connected to the fate of both Jewish and Gentile Israel, which are represented by the two fishes of Pisces. Meanwhile, the Moon signifies both the apostates in the Church, and the righteous members of Christ’s Kingdom - as seen in the dark and bright faces of the Moon. In addition, Saturn represents the Sabbath, resting from work, and the peace associated with that rest. Since a total Lunar Eclipse fully darkens the Moon, this eclipse allegorically may have been indicating that the peace that both Jewish and Gentile Israel were seeking with their Muslim neighbors at that time would not come any time soon, and that any attempt at peace would ultimately fail.
Even taken alone, the celestial signs in 1996 appeared to be heralding that significant prophetic events were occurring, or would soon occur between Gentile and Jewish Israel, and the world. Coupled with the celestial events in 1997, however, there was no question that they were indeed heralding the imminent fulfillment of End Time prophecies. For example, on Purim on March 24th, 1997 - when Comet Hale-Bopp was at its closest and brightest - there was a partial Lunar Eclipse visible over Jerusalem at around 5 o’clock a.m., in the sign of Virgo. Also during that same day, the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus were in the sign of Pisces. Two weeks later, Comet Hale-Bopp followed Hyakutake’s lead, and crossed over the star Al Ghoul on the same calendar day - April 11th - but a year later, and in the opposite direction.
Then, on September 16th, 1997 - at the start of the Feast of Tabernacles - another Lunar Eclipse occurred over Jerusalem. Uncannily, just as it had in 1996, the Full Moon eclipsed when it was in conjunction with the planet Saturn in Pisces! This celestial event - along with its predecessor in 1996 - was a clear sign to Israel that God was stirring up trouble for them in anticipation of the Great Tribulation. In fact, it seemed to be indicating that Jewish and Christian persecution would soon increase around the world - just as it surely has since then.

A New Year Update, and Prayer and Donation Appeal From Helena
Happy New Year!
As this New Year begins, I thought it would be good to share what Yahshua has been doing in my life and ministry. I also wanted to thank you for your patronage, and ask you for your continuing prayers, and support.
Over the holidays, God has been leading me to expand the boundaries of my current ministry by adding regular audio, and video lectures. I have also just recently learned about Daystar, and the Angel TV Networks. To date, I have never watched any of the programming on Angel or Daystar TV, but have had several people recently tell me that I should, and also that I should contact them with my own material, and see if they will allow me to air a series of specials based on subjects from my books.
To that end, I have used the last of my savings to purchase several items that will hopefully make my writing ministry easier, and more productive. First, I purchased a digital camcorder, and hope to present a series of lectures on the Internet beginning sometime in March 2008, after my last book in the Language of God series is finished.
Secondly, I purchased a voice recognition program called Dragon Naturally Speaking that will help me to finish my book without aggravating the arthritic pain in my hands, neck, and back, and will also save my eyes from undue strain because the program will do the typing for me from my voice! I also purchased a used notebook PC for a very reasonable price that has enough memory to operate this voice recognition software while maneuvering through a 500-page, illustrated book without crashing.
Fellow group member David Harvey told me about this program via e-mails, and I am grateful to him for telling me about it. It seems to be working famously for me after training it, and I have already begun to write a new introduction to my final Language of God book with it - with good results.
I think all of these changes in my direction, and methods of reaching others have come about via prayers for God’s Grace, healing and mercy that have been fervently offered up by me, and many others, and I would like to thank all of you who have been praying for me. I am grateful for the prayer cover, and hope you will continue praying for me as I contend with evil forces that are trying to prevent me from finishing this book series.
Remember, everyone! The Devil hates the truth, and he hates God’s appointed truth bearers in this dark age that will soon see the rise of the Antichrist. Satan, and his demons want to suppress the truth of the salvation in Christ that will save many people from the Lake of Fire, and he is doing all he can to stop people from seeing the truth of His Gospel in the Bible, and the Stars.
Indeed, if Satan could, I know that he would surely kill me even now. But praise Yahweh God for setting up a hedge of protection around me to prevent demonic attacks! Even so, this is no time to relax, but to remain vigilant, and prayerful. I must do this continually so that the Devil can’t hurt me anymore than he already has, and so that I can be full of joy and peace, and truly victorious in Christ.
Won’t you join me in prayer, and ask Yahshua Ha Mashiach to help me finish the good task He has set before me as my gift to Him, and the world? I welcome your prayers, and donations at this time to help me continue the important task Yahshua has given me to share the Gospel in the Stars with the world before the Great Tribulations begins.
At this time, I would also like to wholeheartedly thank the people who have donated cash to me over the holidays to help me finish the work that needs to be done, and to purchase the services, and resources that I need to get it done.
Nonetheless, I have need of much more cash to finish the work ahead, and I ask you to prayerfully consider helping me in any way that you can. If you would like to donate, you can do so though my web site via PayPal, or you can mail me a check or bank draft. Any amount from $5 and up would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact me if you would like to become a monthly financial and/or prayer partner with me to ensure the success of the Pillar of Enoch Ministry. If you do, I will send you periodic prayer requests, special offers, receipts, and updates.
Yours in Yahshua,
Helena Lehman
