Much has been said about this coming fall, the highest watch season we have ever seen. JD Farag refuses to set dates (as he should), but admits September will see a convergence of events unlike anything that has come before. The danger in getting hyped-up is that should the LORD tarry, many will be discouraged and could lose faith, but on the other hand we are told to watch for His coming and to know the season. As JD explains, better to blow the trumpet than not. Better to be ready, than have your head in the sand, focused on the cares of the world. While the Bible does indicate we can't for sure predict the exact day or hour of Christ's coming, we most certainly can predict the season and observe the enormous convergence of prophetic events. As John Haller explained just a few short weeks ago, the prophetic "setting" is now complete in regards to "as in the days of Noah" and "as in the days of Lot". Nothing more needs to happen.
Previously, we've demonstrated a possible 2015-2022 tribulation timeline. Additionally, over at RITAN, it was recently pointed out that the full length of the tribulation (1260 days + 1335 days = 2595 days) fits almost exactly between the first day of Rosh Hashanah 2015 and the last day of Tabernacles (Sukkot) 2022.
And now for the BOMBSHELL: the upcoming conjunction of Jupiter and Venus in Leo the Lion on June 30th may in fact truly be the reappearance of the Star of Bethlehem that appeared in 2 BC heralding the first coming of Christ.
As a quick synopsis as to what was discovered regarding Christ's birth, by Rick Larson:
1. On Rosh Hashanah, September 11th, 3 BC, the king planet Jupiter entered retrograde around the king star Regulus in Leo the Lion (it circled around it like a halo three times). The date of Christ's conception?
2. Then Jupiter began moving on again from east to west and after exactly the length of a human gestation (about nine months later) it appeared to form a single star in conjunction with Venus to become the brightest star anyone up to that point had ever seen. This occurred on June 17th, 2 BC. The date of Christ's birth?
3. From Jerusalem it appeared to move south to Bethlehem where it again stopped (entered retrograde), actually on December 25th, 2 BC.
These events fit with all nine requirements of the Biblical Star of Bethlehem.
We and other watchers have been talking about how Jupiter and Venus were again going to form a single super-bright star in Leo the Lion on June 30th of this year (in one week) just like what happened on June 17th of 2 BC. Amazing in itself.
That is until a watcher over at RITAN discovered that the Julian calendar date of our June 30th is actually June 17th. The Julian calendar was the calendar in use at the birth of Christ.
In other words, using the same Julian calendar, Christ's star heralding His advent appeared first on June 17th, 2 BC, and is now appearing again on June 17th, 2015. This is unprecedented, remarkable, and quite frankly amazing, even for a watcher.
Here it is as it appeared on June 17th, 2 BC:
The death of King Herod was no earlier than 4 BCE. This is a well established historical fact.
Remarkably clear skies here in Los Angeles. I went outside last night and was quite taken aback at the brightness and proximity of both planets - Thanks for posting this
Yes, they were visible in Pittsburgh within minutes of official sundown.
Interesting
“As JD explains, better to blow the trumpet than not.”
How’d that work out for Harold Camping?
Fascinating.
No agenda here, whereas there is agenda to make it closer to 2 BCE. There is also lunar ellipse data to support Josephus.
Here’s an article by Bryan Huie about the exact date of the birth of Jesus that you should consider. I find it more accurate than the above article.

For those who like to count, count nine months from June 17th, and wait to see.
More instructive would be to fix the date of Peter’s Sermon on Pentecost and watch for the Christ to return for the Bride born from above on that date.
Revelation 12- a sign in the heavens- the woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet occurred on September 26 2014..
Scripture records this a sign of a birth and it is a literal sign in the sky.
It will not be the same day in 2015 ..
But it was very close to when Jews observed rosh hashanah in 2014.
What is interesting is that would show a new moon day in scripture - it would have been determined by a visible crescent (which would have been seen at sunset on September 25th) and that sign in revelation was at the end of the ‘New Moon Day’- one of the appointment time He taught Israel.
Which in scripture, is simply the 1st day of the month .
If we follow the calendar template He gave Ezekiel (46)
Six work days would follow the new moon day. The 7th day Sabbath would follow the 6 work days (something Rome’s calendar does not do)
Count and that brings us to 8 days (not 7)at the start of His months.
Amazingly, we have Torah that says little boys were to be circumcised on the’8th’ day..
The 8th day of every month on the Father’s calendar is the weekly Sabbath.
Every little boy born on a New Moon Day would be circumcised on a weekly Sabbath.
Little boys who opened the womb would be dedicated in the temple after 40 days, per Torah.
A little boy born on the 1st day of one month would be dedicated in the temple on the 10th day of the next month.
Are there any important 10th days in Torah?
Yes!
The 10th day of the 7th month- Day of Atonement. 40 days after the 1st day of the 6th month.
That is either an oddity or divinely ordained.
The same could be said about His baptism, death, burial and resurrection (not to mention the gift of the holy spirit at the Feast of Weeks)
All occurring on holy days that He taught Israel.
It isn’t an accident that Israel observes Passover today when the sun above us is traveling through the 2 Fish.
Or the Fall Feasts when the sun is traveling through the woman.
Speaks to an age change, something the New Testament details.
They used to observe Passover when the sun was traveling through the Ram and Atonement when the sun was traveling through the scale. Ram/Lamb and scale/balance Atonement? Also an old testament reference.
The earth keeps wobbling and His signs says His Spring Feasts at some point will be observed when the sun is traveling through the ‘water bearer’( outpouring of His Holy Spirit) and His Fall Feasts when the sun is traveling through the Lion (return of the Lion from the Tribe of Judah)
Amazing what we can learn if we don’t let Satan define what is holy.
Or be afraid to use the sun moon and stars for exactly what He created them to be - Signs and ‘seasons’ (not spring, summer,fall,winter but appointed times/congregation) days and years..
None of this will register completely if one buys today is Wednesday..(wodens day)
It would shock people if they followed the biblical calendar how Satan can deceive the whole world just by messing with the calendar and forcing astrology on the world .
But it should not shock protestants .. The world runs on a Roman calendar named after a Pope.. Daniel 7 says it would happen.
Daniel 7:23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.
And that kingdom is Rome..
1. Babylon
2. Medes/Persia
3. Greece
4. Rome
And that is why the first reformers had no problem calling Rome and the papacy the seat of atichrist or the pope(s) ‘antichrist’..
Today the world runs on what the reformers would call a popish calendar, at least- or antichrists’ calendar if we accept their premise..
I was a protestant who didn’t fully understand Rome even created another Jesus.
One whose ‘story’ can only be told from their catechism and their calendar..( one that mimics truth )
Void of things like New Moon Days, Sabbath and His Feasts..which with study doesnt just point to Moses and Israel but to their King..
The literal Word made flesh..
And things like Daniel and Revelation pop off the page..
Rome is the major vessel the enemy has used..
And I was a ‘daughter’ that didn’t fully grasp that.
I realized I was feeding the beast and a part of mystery baylon without ever being a member of the Roman Catholic church..
I only had one choice- repent and come out..
Now, tomorrow is His Sabbath. Not because the world says it is. In fact, the world says tomorrow is a work day- Thor’s day..
So subtle the enemy..
Bryan Huie, imho, is not the most scholarly or convincing person. He espouses some form of Arianism and/or JW belief system. Would not trust what he says.
Besides, the priestly courses served twice + at all three major festivals. Zechariah’s “ministration” could have been at any of those. If John was conceived around Passover, then Jesus would have been conceived around the Fall Feasts, and thus born in June.
That aligning of planets is interesting from a strictly astronomical perspective, even without the possibility of prophecy.
PFL
Did you watch the first video? Mr Farag stated that some people will be devastated if their still here in October . Wow! He really is like 99 percent sure this is it. He believes the Rapture in September. Interesting video.
