In today's class, we did a quick refresh on the sky-events for this coming week (between now and next class). These sky events are:
May Featured Constellation: Re’eym
During the month of May, the sun visually passes through Re’eym, the mighty Bull which heralds the Second Coming and the 7 Last Plagues – Numbers 24:8
Lunar
Eclipse
· Date:
Friday, May 5
· Constellation/Location:
Mozanaim (Libra) the Scales
What is a penumbral lunar eclipse? A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth’s partial shadow, or penumbra. During this type of an eclipse, the moon darkens slightly, but not completely.
o Visible
in:
throughout all of Asia and Australia and parts of eastern Europe and eastern
Africa.
o This
eclipse is the last of four Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date: May 4-5… Each of these four lunar eclipses which
happened on May 4-5 is separated by 19 years. They happen(ed) on:
§ May
4-5,
1966
§ May
4-5,
1985
§ May
4-5,
2004
§ May
4-5,
2023
· Sky events are connected with Hebrew!
o The original constellation asterisms
were the Proto-Sinatic Hebrew letters.
o High probability = Proto-Sinatic Hebrew
is the Language of Heaven
o Provable – Proto-Sinatic Hebrew was the
Mother of Earth languages… all language comes out of it.
o In the story of Daniel/Belteshazzar,
the bloodless hand wrote the Judgment on the wall of the palace in this
language… which Daniel could read, but
was already largely unknown.
o There was one language on earth,
Biblically, prior to the Tower of Babel.
o Hebrew letters are both serving as
letters AND numbers…
o Sky events which are connected by a
number interval, have the meaning of that number as a part of the Message…

Meaning
of 19 in Hebrew:
o
Yod = 10 and means “HAND” of Yahweh
or “WORKS” of Yah.
o
Yod
is related to WORK. With His Hands, Yahweh
WORKED with man intimately, to personally form him from the dust of the earth
(Genesis 2:7). The other things He simply spoke into existence. But with
mankind, He stooped down and personally molded him.
o
The Yod
is the Hand of Yahweh, reaching and
grasping. It signifies the Father holding what is HIS. God’s special things,
that He declares are “MINE”, most often begin with Yod (Y):
§
His Holy, Covenant Name: YHWH
§
His Holy People: Yisrael
§
His only begotten Son: Yahshua
§
His holiest Day: Yom Kippur
o The letters Yod and Kaph denote different aspects of the hand. Yod is the Active Hand by which to grasp and hold things. It is a symbol of personal power and possession (ultimately showing the Power and Ownership of Yahweh). Kaph is the Open Hand meaning to give and receive things.
Tet = 9 is the letter of JUDGMENT and means “yoked and submitted” (positive Judgment) or “a snake” (negative Judgment) either way it is “to surround”.
· Tet
is a paradoxical letter in that it reveals both good
· Tet is the least frequently occurring letter in
the Scriptures (Yod is the most
popular). The letter first appears in Genesis
1:4: “And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
light from the darkness.”
· But
note even here that there is a sort of paradox. God saw that the light was good,
but God separated the light from the darkness, thereby making a
distinction.
·
Within Yahweh’s
Righteous Judgments, we reap the fruit of what we sow. Thus, TET, stands for JUDGMENT and for FRUIT –
o Galatians 6:7-9 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. For he that soweth
to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in
due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
The meaning
of the 19 – Metonic Cycle of the lunar eclipse: Yahweh is Mighty and does Work –
Judgment Work… What we receive in
Judgment is our choice (Choose Life). But the Work of Yah in giving out the
earned Judgment to each person is unstoppable. KNOW (surely) that Yahweh is
able and will bring about the appropriate Judgment for each person. What we
sow, we will reap (Galatians 5:16-25).
The Players in the Event are:
·
The Moon – Lavanah
(to be clothed in white, representing the Bride of Christ) – so this sky event
bears a special message to the Bride
·
The Lunar Eclipse – All lunar eclipses herald (or warn
of) the soon-coming Judgment of Yahweh – this is a Message to the world.
·
The Scales Constellation – Mozanaim
(Libra)
The meaning of the Scales is JUDGMENT and
PURCHASE
·
Daniel 5:27
– “Thou art weighed in the balances (Mozanaim, the scales), and art found
wanting.” The scales do not balance…
Judgment for unbalanced scales is death.
·
Job 6:2 – “Oh that
my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances (Mozanaim,
the scales of Judgment) together!”
·
Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned and come short (we
don’t balance the scales) of the Glory of Yah”.
o “the
wages of sin is death… but the gift of
Yah is Eternal Life through Yahshua…”
The Message to the Bride – the placement of the lunar eclipse
is on the side of the scales with the star Zuben
al Schemali, meaning “the price which covers”. So the Message is Judgment
is coming, but the Bride is covered – Passover – she is protected under the Blood
of the Lamb. The blood red moon reminds of the Blood protection. Judgment for
the Bride is LIFE, the Life is in the Blood. Lunar eclipses are called “blood
moons”.
The Message to the World – the placement of the lunar eclipse
is near the middle post of the scales, bearing the star Zuben al Genubi, meaning “the price is deficient”... “to be weighed
(judged) and found wanting”. So the Message is Judgment is coming, and the time
is running out (moon is near “Zuben al
Genubi”) to be covered under Yahshua’s Blood. For those who reach Judgment
Day without the Blood of Yahshua – the unbalanced scales mean DEATH.
The scales represent receiving what we
DESERVE… The
Judgment coming is equal, just, proportioned… to whatever we “weigh out” to
deserve. In Christ, we receive what HE deserves, in that He took what we
deserve.
This year's Biblical Astronomy class will conclude on May 31, 2023. Shauna Manfredine is not planning to teach a Biblical Astronomy class online next year (September of 2023 to May of 2024). She will be teaching two other courses however, in which you may be interested (please pre-register now, if interested):
