Passover
on April 19 2019 Full Moon Lamed Figure
On
April 19, the Full Moon is in Virgo in Stellarium and makes an
interesting pattern of an L shape lying down to the Left at the birth
canal of Virgo. This L shape reminds me of the letter Lamed Aleph-Tav
found in Genesis 1:1 in the Hebrew in the 6th place of the Menorah
which represents 6000 years from Creation.
In
Paleo Hebrew, the twelfth letter from right to left is the Lamed
letter.

Lamedh
or Lamed is the twelfth letter of the Semitic abjads, including
Phoenician Lamadh, Syriac Lamad,Hebrew Lamed, Aramaic Lamadh, and
Arabic Lam. The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek
Lambda(Λ),Latin L, and Cyrillic El(Л).
At midnight Israel time in Jerusalem, the moon begins the L shape between Heze (below the girdle) and Spica in the Hebrew picture of the Lamed. At 3 PM it stops the L and enters the womb at the midpoint. By 6 AM it is in the womb and proceeds down the birth canal until 21:00 hours (9 PM) while making the shape of the Hebrew Lamed. At the 21:00 hour it is on the line between Syrma and Kang (Algafar 1). By midnight, it has left the line. It exits Virgo between 3 Am and 4 AM on the 20th.

of the Girdle, Hem (15th-14th hour with 6 letters but we
are interested in the 4 near Syrma) and Virgo for the next 7 pages.
Zeta
(ζ) Virgo,Heze, is a star under the girdle of the Virgin.
With
eta (Zaniah), it almost exactly marks the line of the celestial
equator.

Girdle
Worn
by men and women. The meezach was worn by men alone (Job_12:21,
margin). The common girdle was of leather (2Ki_1:8; Mat_3:4), as the
Bedouins now wear a red leather girdle with a long crooked knife and
a pistol stuck in. The finer girdle was of linen (Jer_13:1;
Eze_16:10; Dan_10:5), often embroidered with gold (Dan_10:5;
Rev_1:13). Girdles of sackcloth were worn in token of sorrow
(Isa_3:24; Isa_22:12). They were variously fastened to the wearer
(Mar_1:6; Jer_13:1; Eze_16:10). Girded up, so as to confine the
otherwise flowing robes, when active exertion was needed; from whence
"gird up the hands" means "be in readiness for action"
(Luk_12:35; 1Pe_1:13; Eph_6:14). The girdle was a symbol of strength
and power (Job_12:18, Job_12:21; Job_30:11; Isa_22:21; Isa_45:5).
"Righteousness and faithfulness" are the girdle of the
Messiah (Isa_11:5). Fastened by a clasp, or tied in a knot, so that
the ends hung in front. A costly present (1Sa_18:4). One end being
folded back made a purse or a pocket (Mat_10:9. A. V., “purses;”
R.V., marg., “girdles.” Also Mar_6:8).
The
abneeyt was the priest's girdle of linen embroidered with wool; the
high priest's girdle on the day of atonement was of white linen only.
The "needlework" on it was figuring on one side only,
"cunning work" on two sides (Exo_28:39; the Mishna); or the
"needlework" had the figures on both sides the same girdle,
the "cunning work" different (Jarchi). Exo_26:31,
"needlework" was of the embroiderer, "cunning work"
of the skilled weaver. The "curious girdle" was made, as
the ephod, of "gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined
linen" (Exo_28:8), it was the band for fastening the ephod,
which is upon it, and of the same work, of one piece with it.

The
name Spica (pronounced /ˈspaɪkə/) comes from the Latin phrase
spica virginis, meaning “Virgo’s ear of grain.” The Latin word:
spicum refers to the ear of wheat Virgo holds in her left hand. In
Greek and Roman mythology, the constellation and the star were
associated with Demeter (Ceres), the goddess of the harvest.

Syrma
Iota
(ι)Virgo, Syrma, is a star in the train of the Virgin's dress.
Syrma
is from Greek Surma, used by the second-century Greek astronomer
Ptolemy to designate this star on the Train of the Virgin's robe.
Iota
(ι Syrma), with kappa (κ) and phi (φ) it was mentioned in the
first Arabian translation of the Syntaxis as being in the h-imar, or
"skirt," of the garment; but the translator of the Latin
edition of 1515, missing the point at the first letter, read the word
as himar, "an ass," so that this central one of these three
stars strangely appears in that work as in asino. They formed the
13th manzil (Arabic Moon Mansion), AlGhafr, the Covering,
as the English astronomer Smyth (1788-1865) explains,
"because
the beauty of the earth is hidden when they rise on the 18th Tishrin,
or 1st of November; others say on account of the shining of the stars
being lessened as if covered;"
www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Syrma.html
First
of November takes us back to the Flood beginning on Nov 2 and ending
on the first day of the first month on the New Moon. It was that same
week that the Exodus plagues began and ended 5.5 months later on
Passover (Full Moon).
Location
of Syrma is in the hem of the garment.
Hem
The
hem of Christ's garment touched (Mat_9:20; Mat_14:36; Luk_8:44).
Hem
of Garment
The
beged or "outer robe" was a quadrangular, plaid-like cloth,
worn so that two corners hung in front. The corners were ornamented
with a tassel, in which was a "riband of blue" or dark
violet thread (so narrow was the ribbon), according to the command
Num_15:38-39, where for "put upon," etc., translated"
add to the fringes of the borders a thread of blue," that
"looking on it they might remember all the commandments of the
Lord, and do them." The blue symbolized the heavenly origin of
the commandments. The Jews adjusted the threads and knots so as to
represent the 613 precepts of which the law was thought to consist.
The other threads were made white (according to tradition), to
represent purity (Isa_1:18).
The
Pharisees enlarged their fringes as a show of piety (Mat_23:5). In
later times, the Jews have worn the talit or fringed garment of a
smaller size and as an underdress. It is used especially at morning
prayer in the synagogue. The tsitsit (or tzitzit) is the Hebrew term
for the "fretted or fringed edge", the ordinary mode of
finishing the robe, the ends of the woof thread being left that the
cloth might not unravel. The supposed sanctity of the "hem"
explains why the woman with the issue of blood and other sick persons
touched Jesus' hem in particular (Mat_9:20; Mat_14:36).
Fringes
FRINGES.—In
Num_15:37 ff. the Hebrews are commanded to ‘make them fringes (Heb.
tsîtsîth) in the borders [but RVm ‘tassels in the corners’] of
their garments throughout their generations.’ The same ordinance,
somewhat differently expressed, is found in the earlier legislation
of Dt.: ‘Thou shalt make thee fringes (lit., as RVm, ‘twisted
threads’) upon the four quarters (RV borders) of thy vesture
wherewith thou coverest thyself’ (Deu_22:12). The ‘vesture’
here referred to is the plaid-like upper garment of the Hebrews, as
is evident from Exo_22:27, where ‘vesture’ (RV ‘covering’) is
defined as the simlah, the upper ‘garment’ (RV) in question, as
described under Dress, § 4 (a).
The
‘fringes’ to be made for this garment, however, are not a
continuous fringe round the four sides, like the fringes which are a
characteristic feature of Assyrian dress, but, as RVm, tassels of
twisted or plaited threads, and are to be fastened to the four
corners of the simlah. It was further required ‘that they put upon
the fringe of each border a cord of blue’ (Num_15:38 RV), the
precise meaning of which is uncertain. It is usually taken to mean
that each tassel was to be attached by means of this cord of blue, or
rather of blue-purple, to a corner of the simlah.
That
this ordinance was faithfully observed by the Jews of NT times is
seen from the references to the tsîtsîth or tassel of our Lord’s
upper garment, disguised in EV under the ‘hem’ (AV) of Mat_9:20;
Mat_14:36, and ‘border’ of Mar_6:56, Luk_8:44. RV has ‘border’
throughout. These tassels are still worn by the Jews, attached to the
tallith or prayer-shawl, and to the smaller tallith, in the shape of
a chest-protector, now worn as an undergarment, but without the
addition of the blue thread. (For the somewhat complicated method by
which the tassels are made, the mode of attachment, and the mystical
significance assigned to the threads and knots, see Hastings’ DB
ii. 69; for illustration see i. 627.) In the passage in Nu, it is
expressly said that the object of this ordinance was to furnish the
Hebrews with a visible reminder of the obligation resting upon them,
as J″’s chosen people, to walk in His law and to keep all His
commandments. It does not necessarily follow, however, that the
practice of wearing such tassels was unknown before the date of the
Deuteronomic legislation. On the contrary, the representations of
Asiatics on the walls of tombs and other Egyptian monuments show that
tasselled garments are of early date in Western Asia (see plate ii b
of Wilkinson’s Anc. Egyp. vol. i., where note that the tassels are
of blue threads). Hence it is altogether probable that the object of
the Hebrew legislation is ‘to make a deeply rooted custom serve a
fitting religious purpose’ (G. B. Gray, ‘Numbers’ [ICC],
183f.).
Kang
Kappa Virginis(κ Virginis, abbreviated Kappa Vir, κ Vir), also
named Kang,is a solitary star in the zodiac constellation of Virgo.

The
Sign Virgo
The Promised Seed of the woman
The Promised Seed of the woman
1.
Virgo (the Virgin)
Here
is the commencement of all prophecy in Genesis 3:15, spoken to the
serpent: "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise His heel." This is the prophetic announcement which
the Revelation in the heavens and in the Book is designed to unfold
and develop. It lies at the root of all the ancient traditions and
mythologies, which are simply the perversion and corruption of
primitive truth.
VIRGO
is represented as a woman with a branch in her right hand,
and some ears of corn in her left hand. Thus giving a two-fold
testimony of the Coming One.
The
name of this sign in the Hebrew is Bethulah, which means a
virgin, and in the Arabic a branch. The two words are connected,
as in Latin--Virgo, which means a virgin; and virga, which
means a branch (Vulg. Isa 11:1). Another name is Sunbul,
Arabic, an ear of corn.
In
Genesis 3:15 she is presented only as a woman; but in later
prophecies her nationality is defined as being of the stock of
Israel, the seed of Abraham, the line of David; and, further, she is
to be a virgin. There are two prominent prophecies of her and her
seed: one is connected with the first coming in incarnation, Isaiah
7:14 (quoted in Matthew 1:23).
"Behold,
a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
And shall call his name Immanuel."
And shall call his name Immanuel."
The
other is connected with His second coming, leaping over the
sufferings and this present interval of His rejection, and looking
forward to His coming in glory and judgment, Isaiah 9:6, 7 (quoted in
Luke 2:11 and 1 :32, 33).
"For
unto us a child is born,
Unto us a son is given; *
And the government shall be upon His shoulder;
And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government there shall be no end.
Upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom,
To order it, and to establish it
With judgment and with justice
From henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."
Unto us a son is given; *
And the government shall be upon His shoulder;
And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government there shall be no end.
Upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom,
To order it, and to establish it
With judgment and with justice
From henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."
*
Here, the fact of His humiliation, together with this long period of
His rejection, is leaped over, and the prophecy passes on
at once--over at least a period of 1893 years--to this "glory
which should follow."
It
is difficult to separate the Virgin and her Seed in the prophecy; and
so, here, we have first the sign VIRGO, where the name points to her
as the prominent subject; while in the first of the three
constellations of this sign, where the woman appears again, the name
COMA points to the child as the great subject.
Virgo contains
110 stars, viz., one of the 1st magnitude, six of the 3rd, ten of the
4th, etc.
ARATUS
thus sings of them:
"Beneath
Bootes feet the Virgin seek,
Who carries in her hand a glittering spike.
Over her shoulder there revolves a star
In the right wing, superlatively bright;
It rolls beneath the tail, and may compare
With the bright stars that deck the Greater Bear.
Upon her sholder one bright star is borne,
One clasps the circling girdle of her loins,
One at her bending knee; and in her hand
Glitters that bright and golden Ear of Corn.
Who carries in her hand a glittering spike.
Over her shoulder there revolves a star
In the right wing, superlatively bright;
It rolls beneath the tail, and may compare
With the bright stars that deck the Greater Bear.
Upon her sholder one bright star is borne,
One clasps the circling girdle of her loins,
One at her bending knee; and in her hand
Glitters that bright and golden Ear of Corn.
Thus
the brightest star in VIRGO (a) * has an ancient name, handed down to
us in all the star-maps, in which the Hebrew word Tsemech is
preserved. It is called in Arabic Al Zimach, which means the
branch. This star is in the ear of corn which she holds in her left
hand. Hence the star has a modern Latin name, which has almost
superseded the ancient one, Spica, which means, an ear of
corn. But this hides the great truth revealed by its name Al
Zimach. It foretold the coming of Him who should bear this name. The
same Divine inspiration has, in the written Word, four times
connected it with Him. There are twenty Hebrew words translated
"Branch," but only one of them (Tsemech) is used
exclusively of the Messiah, and this word only four times (Jer 33:15
being only a repetition of Jer 23:5). Each of these further connects
Him with one special account of Him, given in the Gospels.
*
The stars are known by Greek letters and sometimes by numbers, &c.
Alpha (a) denotes a star of the first magnitude; Beta (b),
the second, and so on. This plan was originated by Bayer in
his Uranometria, 1603. The star Alpha, as seen in the New
Great Equatorial Telescope recently set up at Greenwich, is now
discovered to be really a doublestar, though it had hitherto
always appeared to be one.
(1)
Jeremiah 23:5 --"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, That I
will raise unto David a righteous BRANCH (i.e., a Son), And a KING
shall reign and prosper." The account of His coming as King is
written in the Gospel according to Matthew, where Jehovah says to
Israel, "Behold thy KING." (Zech 9:9; Matt 21:9)
(2)
Zechariah 3:8--"Behold I will bring forth my SERVANT the
BRANCH." In the Gospel according to Mark we find the record of
Jehovah's servant and His service, and we hear Jehovah's voice
saying, "Behold my SERVANT." (Isa 42:1)
(3)
Zechariah 6:12--"Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold
the MAN whose name is the BRANCH." In the Gospel according to
Luke we behold Him, presented in "the MAN Christ Jesus."
(4)
Isaiah 4:2--"In that day shall the BRANCH of JEHOVAH be
beautiful and glorious." So that this Branch, this Son, is
Jehovah Himself; and as we read the record of John we hear the voice
from heaven saying, "Behold your GOD." (Isa 40:9)
This
is the Branch foretold by the star Al Zimach in the ear of
corn.
The
star b is called Zavijaveh, which means the
gloriously beautiful, as in Isaiah 4:2. The star e, in the arm
bearing the branch, is called Al Mureddin, which means who
shall come down (as in Psa 72:8), or who shall have
dominion. It is also known as Vindemiatrix, a Chaldee word which
means the son, or branch, who cometh.
Other
names of stars in the sign, are--
Subilah,
who carries. (Isa 46:4)
Al Azal, the Branch. (As in Isa 18:5)
Subilon, a spike of corn. (As in Isa 17:5)
Al Azal, the Branch. (As in Isa 18:5)
Subilon, a spike of corn. (As in Isa 17:5)
The
Greeks, ignorant of the Divine origin and teaching of the sign,
represented Virgo as Ceres, with ears of corn in her hand.
In
the Zodiac in the Temple of Denderah, in Egypt, about 2000 BC (now in
Paris), she is likewise represented with a branch in her hand, but
ignorantly explained by a false religion to represent Isis! Her
name is called Aspolia, which means ears of corn, or the
seed, which shows that though the woman is seen, it is her Seed who
is the great subject of the prophecy.
Passing
to the three constellations anciently assigned to the sign VIRGO, we
come to what may be compared to three sections of the
chapter, each giving some further detail as to the interpretation of
its teaching.
