1 THE GIZA PLANETARY ALIGNMENT MYSTERIES OF THE PYRAMID CLOCK A Misconception of the Planetary Alignments by Luis B. Vega vegapost@hotmail.com for online PDF illustrations in chart section The purpose of this chapter is demonstrate how such ley-lines and sacred geometry of the Middle East encompasses the patterns of the stars. In some cases, there are some oversights as to what is actually appearing and what it could possibly mean. This study will seek to address some misconceptions about the December 3, 2012 Planetary Alignment of Mercury, Venus and Saturn that occurred. The error is that the 3 Planets were alleged to be in direct line with the Giza Pyramids and visible after sunset as one would look toward the west from the pyramid complex. What occurred could allude to when the 3 rd Temple is to be built that could be a countdown to Paradise. A picture of the 3 planets above the Giza Pyramid complex in Egypt had been circulating online for a while but it is not exactly what will occur. This study will examine if such a scenario is possible altogether. Since the 3 pyramids are at the center piece of this planetary alignment, some investigations associated with the 3 pyramids will be looked at to further appreciate the complexity of such magnificent structures. Why the December 3, 2012 planetary alignment is considered is that it appears to have some association with the Jewish year of 5776 that could have a prophetic context based on the mathematics of this particular planetary alignment. This triple planetary alignment occurred just before the very ominous Mayan calendar date of December 21, 2012 that was a sensationalized. Some very profound events did occur in November that will reverberate for the duration of the decade, mainly Obama being reelected, Hurricane Sandy, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, huge solar flares etc. The timeline will show if there is a day count or number pattern associated with various events that perhaps could shed some light from a spiritual perspective. The theory of the Giza Pyramid Clock will also be touched upon, as it is one of the many mysteries of hidden knowledge that the Pyramids have. The Pyramid Clock theory and literary work was first published by a Dutch scientist named, Dr. Johan Oldenkamp. Some mathematical crunching will also be presented to show just how precise and amazing the math is concerning the design of the 3 Pyramids of Giza and the year that this clock is pointing to, It will be suggested, as other researching this phenomenon have stated, that the feet and/or inches of the pyramids perhaps do correlate to years of time when pyramid angles and measurements are defined. 1

2 A Picture is not worth a 1000 Words Given this possible number-to-year association of the 3 planets and pyramid alignment, thus it could be deduced that certain dates or numbers do reoccur; primarily, 2012 and Giza Pyramid Clock does covey a New Time or Age to begin. Perhaps the designers of the Pyramids encoded these dates because they are or will be extremely significant. As to the significance of these numbers or years, some speculate that it is when the Age of Aquarius is to commence or the Luciferian New World order is to commence. Many are anticipating the New World or Age Leader will begin to take charge. Others speculate that the AntiChrist will come out of a financial collapse of the world economies, etc. It will remain to be seen. Pertaining to the planetary alignment of December 3, 2012 of Mercury, Venus and Saturn, they did correspond, approximately to the Giza Pyramid orientation, but not exactly as the picture that circulated online depicted. Perhaps the doctored photograph that surfaced online attempted to show this correlation. There were several errors in the picture that have been misleading many of the actual alignment. 1) The pyramid orientation in the picture is from a perspective looking west. 2) The 3 planets aligned that could only approximate the 3 Pyramids of Giza in a line up would only come at around midday as one would look towards the south from the Giza complex. 3) The 3 planets would just be above the pyramid s horizon but it would only be about 1.5 hours before sunset in the west. The 3 planets would not visible due to the brightness of the Sun s light/rays during the day. 4) Also, the order as the 3 planets would set would be reversed as from the line up to the 3 pyramids at the apex around Noon. If one would be standing in the midst of the Giza Pyramid plateau on December 3, 2012, the planetary alignment of Mercury, Venus and Saturn did occur. However, upon further investigation, the planetary alignment occurred at the apex in the sky, not just over the pyramids. There did appear to be a direct alignment if the center of the pyramid lines were to be projected out. This 3 planet alignment corresponding to the 3 pyramid alignment occurred at midday and not at night. Regrettably, the Planets were virtually impossible to be seen because of the Sun s light of the mid-day. From a closer observation, it appeared that the planets were either on edge of the pyramid trajectory line-up, at midday but not precisely centered to correlate to the pyramid s center lines. Planetary alignments occur frequently but it is interesting to contemplate a possible significance of this particular order of the 3 planets just before the ominous December 21, 2012 date in a row. What is remarkable though is that the actual degree of angle amongst the 3 planets of Mercury, Venus and Saturn were in the exact alignment themselves, in the heavens. 2

3 The Pyramid Time Clock All 3 planets matched precisely the angle of the Giza Pyramids. The planetary alignment of Mercury, Venus and Saturn on December 3, 2012 perfectly matched the angle of the Orion Belt stars to the very same degree of angle, which is astonishing and amazing. Why this event could be prophetically significant is that it is highlighting a celestial year, 5776 and specifically an angle to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Such patterns are seen around the world in architecture, art and sacred geometry. This sign and pattern occurs in relation to the Giza Pyramid Clock that this study suggests is telling of a particular time to come. To reiterate, it did appear that the planetary alignment of Mercury, Venus and Saturn, by themselves on December 3, 2012, had the same degree of angle as the Giza Pyramid complex. Thus they also mirrored the degree of angel to that of Orion s Belt which the pyramids are designed after. On December 3, 2012 around 12:00 Noon or 0 time at the Giza Pyramid Plateau, there was an approximate alignment of the Pyramid angels to the 3 Planets when one would be looking south. The 3 planets rose nearly vertical from the east, a bit to the right of the sunrise. They set near at a 45º in the west, a bit south of the sunset. Because the 3 planets are ahead of the Sun, they were not visible as they were set below the horizon before the Sun did. Plus, at this juncture, as mentioned previously, the stars were in reverse order in reference to the 3 Pyramids of Giza. What is peculiar is that the size of the 3 Giza Pyramids are in exact reverse order to the size of the 3 planets. Mercury is the smallest, Saturn is the largest. This planet alignment corresponded to the size of the pyramids, where Menkaure is the smallest and Khufu is the largest. Thus Mercury, the smallest Planet was aligned to Khufu, the largest Pyramid and Saturn, the largest planet was aligned to Menkaure, the smallest Pyramid. If the planetary alignment did have a spiritual or significant meaning associated to it, perhaps the following could be a possible inference. As mentioned, planetary alignments happen often and could be of no consequence but if one were to examine the frequency of such events, one would come to realize that when they do occur, they do tend to converge on certain dates that end up having a significant ramification for the world. Such planetary alignment may have effected are political, social, or economic trends to mention a few. If there could be any possible Biblical inference that these 3 particular planets could possible allude to, it could be based on the planet s meaning associated to its name. In ancient times, names gave the object a description of a quality or a characteristic. If we go just by the word order and sequence, a code or message can be formulated. 3

4 PLANET: Mercury 1st/88 Days cycle BIBLICAL: Messenger Great Physician Christ OCCULT: Healer, the Caduceus Satan PLANET: Venus 2nd/~224 Day cycle BIBLICAL: Bright Morning Star, or Pear as in a Bride of Christ OCCULT: Son of the Dawn, queen of heaven Satan PLANET Saturn 6th/~30 Year cycle BIBLICAL: Inferring majesty, crown, Lord of Sabbath Christ OCCULT: Kronos, father time, end a time, age Satan The month of November 2012 had been full of significant occurrences, geo-political, astronomical, market-wise, etc. There had been the ominous signs of an impending collapse of the Euro, Greece, Spain and the USA fiscal cliff, U.S. Dollar crash by the end of such a time, etc. There are the tensions and conflicts in the Middle East with Syria, Palestinians and Israel that is unresolved still. There have been significant earthquakes, Hurricane Sandy and the Presidential Elections in the USA, an intense Solar Flare, on and on. However all these major occurrences seemed to just be a recurring cycle. Millions of events occur each day that could be just as significant as those presented in this timeline. This study only seeks to correlate such noted events as they are prescribed to be part of what the Bible states are part of Signs and Wonders that will prelude the End of Days. Christ Himself spoke about specific prophetic events that would affect either the political, social, or economic aspects of the world in the Last Days. The key is that they would be tied to astronomical events like the Giza Pyramid planetary alignment. In turn, these notable events would be tied to the astrological occurrence and what would be happening in relation to Israel and the coming New World Order. Thus, the solar and lunar eclipses and the Operation Pillar of Cloud, for example are to be taken seriously. It is prophetically significant to those that seek to follow the heavenly signs upon further examination, as far as the study of End Times or the possible timing of the Rapture are concerned that there did appear to be peculiar numerical timeline. The various eclipses did have a day-count pattern for the November events. It appeared to be the same numerical sequence of the 7779 Illinois state lottery winning pics as they occurred when Obama first was elected in This number occurred in the Illinois jackpot winning number series in Chicago, the day after Obama won the U.S. Presidential Election. Based on the numerical interpretation of this number, it signified total or complete judgment. Thus this planetary alignment could have been a second confirmation of sorts. The timeline also appeared to have a day-count as well. After the 7779 pattern, a 999 or 666 followed-up to Christmas. Some believe that this is an encrypted code of years countdown since

5 Timeline of Possible correlations to Alignment The following is a suggested countdown = = = = 2031 A sequential 7 day-count from the total solar eclipse occurred that synchronized with the New Year of January 1, This was a 7 day count x 7 occurrences of 49 days. The 50 th day was thus, January 1, This highlighted events of the timeline only suggest some possible correlations but does not or can provide any interpretation thereof; for your discernment only. One particular date in November that many have been written already about and have brought to light was the day of November 29 th. 1) The 333rd day of the year 2) The 66th Year Anniversary of UN Patrician Plan for Israel and Palestine (33+33) 3) Having 33 days till 2013 It has been well researched that the Giza Pyramid complex holds numerous and wonderful mysteries that have been solved and some yet to be solved. One particular phenomenon is the Giza Clock that is said to coincide with the day when the Mayan long count calendar. What this triple planetary alignment could have signaled was that the Earth or World was about mark a changing of a time. Given the planetary alignment, it would be Saturn, as Kronos that would mark the end of the old time to be replaced by commencing of a new one, perhaps a prelude to the New World Order. The Giza Clock basically stipulates that the within the framework of the design of the Giza Pyramid complex, a mathematical code was factored in the design that clock the Precession of the Equinoxes. As noted, this work is the discovery of Dr. Johan Oldenkamp and others. Among other spectacular sacred knowledge, the Pyramids are aligned to the ancient 4 cardinal Stars. The Stars are Antares, Regulus, Aldebaran, and Fomalhault. These correspond to the Zodiac of the Eagle, Lion, Bull, Man that are depicted in the Bible as the 4 Living Creatures and the symbols of the standards for Israel s 12 ancient Tribes. The model of the Giza Clock presented in the accompanied illustrated chart is a fusion of 2 charts in one. One chart plots out the Galactic corners or Cross that corresponds to the north, south, east, west coordinates. The Pyramid Clock illustrated on the chart is depicted in reverse order or format not illustrated on most drawings online. 5

6 Mathematical Mysteries of the Pyramids Why the Giza Clock is considered is that many assert that it holds the key to when key dates occurred and were pegged to on Earth. Such events pertain to the Flood of Noah, the birth of Christ, the Temples being constructed in Jerusalem and the return of Jesus Christ. The Giza Clock in the illustration presented mirrors the coordinates from a cosmic perspective, not an Earth perspective, thus it will be reversed. The Sphinx s position is directly that of the constellation Leo and is also transposed onto the Giza Clock as a reference to the calculated start of the Age of LEO in ~10,900 BC. This is not to say that this epoch could have been before the creation of Humanity or even before the Earth became formless and void per Genesis. With this in mind, the Pyramid Clock suggests when the New World Order astrologically begins; a new time perhaps being announced by the 3 Planet alignment of December 3, 2012? For example what was significant about the end of the Mayan calendar was that the Galactic Plane had the Earth or Sun on December 21, 2012 at 33º from Antares, near the center of our Milky Way. Some speculate that it is where the Gate of Heaven is located at with respect to Orion and the Silver Gate. The center Pyramid of Giza, of note also directly matched on Earth the Heavenly Cross alignment that many believed served as a cosmic motif of a key opening up a Stargate. The Mystery of the Great Pyramid in Egypt boggles the mind. It is full of countless mathematical precision calculations. Many over the centuries have studied the Giza Pyramid complex and do concur that certain dates and times are etched into the very granite blocks of the structure. Mathematically what is recurring, according to many researchers is the number In some way or fashion, this date might have its association or meaning tied to Israel prophetically and the Temple Mount; that remains to be seen. Following is just an example of the complexity of the mathematics that was infused into the design of the Pyramids. Height: feet or 5776 inches (5776 = 2016) *Year of Light as in 1776 Radius: ft high Diameter: Radius x 2 = 962 feet (rounded off) Circumference: 962 ft x Pi = 3024 Π x 962 (diameter) = 3022 (circumference) (actual circumference) = 1008 numerical factor = = 3024 (circumference) = 4032 (4032 / 2 = = 5040 ( ) *2520 is the duration of the Prophet Daniel s Last Week of Weeks - Daniel 9: = = 2016 (5776) =

7 The Altars of YHVH Some speculate like the late David Flynn that the Year of Light 5776 which corresponds to the year 2016 is when something monumental will occur on Earth that will affect the whole of Humanity on Earth. Flynn s hypothesis was that it had to do with the rebuilding and/or rededication of the Jewish 3 rd Temple. The number is also further a factor of 2520, which is how long the Tribulation Period is to last per some interpretations of Daniel s Last Week of Weeks. Is the Pyramid telling us that perhaps 2016 will be the commencing of the Prophetic Week of a 2520 day count, according to the Prophet Daniel? It will remain to be seen. Here is another profound and amazing mathematical correlation as the Pyramids of Giza have a direct relationship to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Temple Mount is where the House of YHVH stood and will according to how some interpret End Times prophecy. The math is scramming as it were the year 2016 or If one takes the same degree of angle that corresponds with the Giza Pyramids to the Orion Belt stars and you factor that angle to the edges of the Giza pyramid complex, one will come up with a very peculiar mathematical result. If this notion is projected onto the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as a focal point, then the feet and inches can possibly compute the following years. Thus this study suggests that the word order of the 3 planet s names and meaning could give the possible following message, a divine one perhaps. It would appear that a Royal Envoy (Saturn) is announcing an end of a time, summonsing (Mercury) for the Consort (Venus) that is done or prepared as a Pearl. The Giza Pyramid Plateau, Egypt 1. Pyramid: Khufu (the Great Pyramid) Jewish calendar: (Feet) Gregorian calendar: 5769 (Inches) =Year: Pyramid: Khafre Focal Point: from apex center Jewish calendar: (Feet) Gregorian calendar: 5773 (Inches) =Year: Pyramid: Menkaure Focal Point: from northeast corner: Jewish calendar: (Feet) Gregorian calendar: 5776 (Inches) = Year: 2016 (5776) The Constellation Orion Belt Stars 1. Alnitak The Wounded One 2. Alnilam As in Pearl, a string of 3. Mintaka Dividing, as a Sacrifice *Biblical interpretation by E.W. Bullinger, Witness of the Stars. 7

8 A Rapture Link or Clue? The Pearl The imagery of Orion s Belt is clearly that of a picture of the Rapture. This is not to say that the Rapture will or is tied to any sort of planetary alignments, but like so many other clues, it could be a reference to a prelude of sorts. The Rapture could very well be one of them and when the 3 rd Temple in Jerusalem is to be built. The Rapture that is to occur at some time perhaps will be tied to some significant and major astronomical combination of planet alignments. Perhaps these 2 Biblically profound and prophetic events will converge in the same timeline as in the same year even. A further possible meaning that could be deciphered from the 3 planet s order and name association in relation to the Rapture is as follows. In particular, Saturn is a bringer of the Old Age as opposed to a New Age or an approaching Time that is to end. So the Planetary Alignment could be signaling that a proclamation is being announced that the Church, the Bride of Christ is ready as a pearl, finishing a very old time that is coming to a close to make way for the new coming time. Venus is also often associated with a woman or as a depiction of a Bride thus also associated with a Pearl. The Pearl is derived from the center Pyramid s name, Khafre. In the alignment, Venus is in the center position between Mercury and Saturn, thus connoting a Pearl. Perhaps it could allude to the Bride of Christ being completed or its time is about to run out. It is interesting that in the December 3, 2012 Planet Alignment, Venus was in the middle position that corresponded to the center Pyramid, Khafre. It is this Pyramid in the Giza complex that is aligned perfectly to the north-south axis to where the Gate of GOD or the Golden Gate is speculated at. The Peal would be an excellent metaphor for the Bride of Christ out of the Church. A pearl is basically a particle or spec of sand in an oyster. The oyster secretes enzymes to try in neutralize it but over long periods of time, the worthless spec of sand becomes this beautiful pearl as the spec grows and grows due to the constant secretion of the enzymes that work with the muscle. To extract the pearl, the oyster s body must be opened up or broken. The pearl or pearls thereafter are used as precious jewels that will adorn royalty and others as in the Day when I make up my jewels says the LORD. The Bride of Christ, the Church has been agitated long enough like a pearl -over 1980 years of persecution, trials and tribulation. The theme and promise of the Bible is that the LORD takes a worthless people, specs, sinners and has transformed them through His molding and crafting by way of the Holy Spirit and Blood. The LORD has done this inner work of glory while in Earthen Vessels and is transforming His People into a pearl; a Bride that has made herself ready for the Marriage of the Lamb. It will be at the Rapture when the LORD promised to open up our bodies then as He will transform them, from Glory to Glory, from corruptible to incorruptible to be with YHVH forever, at His side. Is the pearl just about to be completed? The time for the Church age is fast coming to a close, perhaps based on this prophetic pattern of prophecy, sometime in
