The Tribes in Heaven

 

The sign of the Son of man is surely the most richly endowed sign in heaven to encompass so many features of the character and identity of Christ. Perhaps of all that we have presented regarding it, however, no single relationship is as sublimely awe-inspiring as what is revealed when we consider how it represents what it means to dwell with Jesus. This is the great longing of His people and Himself through all ages—to be united with our Lord, unassailed by evil, dwelling peacefully in a secure land, joyfully engaging in pursuit of the innocent wonders that our loving Father provides for His children.

When Jesus was about to fulfill the sacrificial services in making Himself an offering for sin, He gave a promise to His disciples and all those who would choose to follow Him, that we could rest in the knowledge that we would be reunited with our Savior.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:1-3)

Heading Home

The entirety of the sanctuary services was about making the reunion of God with His people possible!

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. (Exodus 25:8)

The camp of Israel literally revolved around the sanctuary. Twelve tribes were stationed around it, separated by a significant distance, in a well-ordered fashion. When the cloudy pillar was lifted up, the million-man army would gather their things and take journey with clock-like precision, one tribe after the other, clockwise around the sanctuary, which was itself transported by the Levites.

Yet it was only the high priest who ever went into the holiest part of the sanctuary where God’s presence was shining in glory above the throne of mercy, where His law was kept. Nevertheless, the sanctuary pointed forward to a time when, by the blood of Jesus, we could be united with Him, not alone by receiving His Spirit, whom He imparted on the day of Pentecost to abide with His people, but also physically.

This is the essence of the Exodus story. Beginning in bondage to sin under the tyrannical government of Satan, the Lord shows Himself powerful against every devilish device that is directed against us and delivers His people. Once freed, God provides the law that is to give structure and stability for a healthy life. For ancient Israel, that law came by way of a dramatic and fearful display at Sinai, when the law was delivered, written in tables of stone by the finger of God.

That event when Moses received the Personal handwriting of God as a precious and valuable treasure, took place on the Jews’ Feast of Weeks, more commonly known to us as Pentecost. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples took place on the anniversary of that solemn and holy occasion. Indeed, on the same calendar day, the new covenant came into force when the Spirit of God began to write His law in our human heart of flesh—in our very DNA—by the creative finger of God!

As every son of Israel was circumcised as a sign of their familial commitment to the covenant at Sinai, so do we have a circumscribed sign in heaven to seal our faith by which we live in harmony with God’s character.

And he [Abraham] received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: (Romans 4:11)

This should give us pause to reflect and glorify God! He alone can so orchestrate history with the heavens in an inspiring melody of love. But it doesn’t stop there! As we recognized in A Time to Reign, the sign not only points to Pentecost, but also to Yom Kippur, the day when Israel’s sin was completely purged. In the symbolism of the sanctuary, the sin which hindered God from receiving man to Himself was taken out of the way. What a day of rejoicing! Yet Israel only experienced the type. It is we who are to experience the antitype!

Recall that the anniversary of that solemn day that turned to joy is represented in the sign of the Son of man precisely on the day when comet K2 comes to its point. The context is about the writing of the law of God in our hearts, so that He may dwell with us.

The Exodus story is fully represented in the sign of the Son of man, beginning with the midnight cry, as when the death of Egypt’s firstborn led them to finally send Israel on their way with gifts. It memorializes Mount Sinai in Lepus, when God threatened to blot out His people who turned quickly from His law. Comet K2 then ramps up to a peak at Yom Kippur and comes back down, similar to how in Exodus, God gave plans for the sanctuary, sent Moses up to the mountain (the second time) to receive the rewritten law on Yom Kippur, and then the people built the sanctuary according to the plan of God.

Following this, the people passed through a wilderness, which they survived only by God’s special provision and protection before finally crossing the Jordan. In the “omega” time as designated by the part of the sign dedicated solely to the omega, we follow comet K2 through the apocalyptic landscape of the last days when He will show His mighty power to protect and provide for His people, being in their midst, until finally taking His people across the Jordan through the final frontier out of this world.

The Exodus Experience in the Heavens

Then Israel prepared to enter the promised land, just as K2 comes to Orion—symbolizing the entrance into the heavenly Promised Land—where it depicts the coronation of the Lord in victory. Today, the sign of the Son of man points to the people of God encamped in their celestial order, not distantly around the tabernacle, but united with it in close fellowship with the Lord.

Did not the Lord, when speaking of the Sign of His return, also mention the tribes of people?

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:30)

Just before Jesus returns in the clouds, He said the sign of the Son of man would appear in heaven, and the tribes of earth would mourn. Certainly, His people will not mourn when He comes, so the “tribes of earth” must exclude them. Indeed, those who are in Christ are no longer of earthly tribes after the flesh but are of the spiritual tribes of heaven who are the children of Abraham by faith.

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:29)

It follows, therefore, that we should find the inheritance of the twelve tribes of Israel represented in the sign of the Son of man, which represents His kingdom with His people dwelling in Him.

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; (Genesis 26:4)

Jacob also called his children to gather around himself as he gave them prophecies of the last days, as a type for Christ and the tribes of His children of faith.

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. (Genesis 49:1)

The Revelation describes the 144,000 virgins who are sealed into the twelve tribes.[1] We have explained how they may recognize what spiritual tribe they belong to according to the constellation of the Mazzaroth where the Bridegroom sun was shining at the time of their birth. This is summarized in the table below,[2] based on a beautiful study of Revelation 7.[3] 

The sun is in this constellation……within this range of birth dates…[4] …which corresponds to this spiritual tribe of Israel.
Leo August 10 – September 15 Judah
Virgo September 16 – October 30 Asher
Libra October 31 – November 23 Levi
Aquila (Scorpius) November 24 – December 17 Manasseh

The Camp of Spiritual Israel

What you are about to observe is a demonstration of God’s ability to design the impossible. It is remarkable enough that two comets would simply draw a “great fish” through a prophetically significant time frame. How much more, when that ancient symbol for believers in Jesus Christ as the Son of God,[5] would be divided into exactly twelve plots of “land”!? Yet that is exactly what we see.

Twelve Plots of Land

But this is just the beginning of its depth. One could still believe it to be a coincidence. But what if we could see a biblical connection between each tribe and a unique constellation of the sign? What if, after doing so, they present an order like that of the camp of Israel, but brought together with the sanctuary rather than distanced from it, just as the Bible anticipates?

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Revelation 21:3)

Could it still be counted as a coincidence? Upon seeing so much evidence, at some point, one must decide to believe that this sign is indeed the very sign of the Son of man that the Lord foretold would appear before His return, and that He is fulfilling His word. At the center of the sign, we see the scene of Jesus’ baptism when the dove lighted on Him in the river Jordan. Will you choose to be baptized into His life of sacrifice in recognition that He is calling you to be born into spiritual Israel, where your promised inheritance is illustrated in the stars? Will you point others to look up to witness the sublime beauty of this sign and give their hearts to Him who is gathering His people to dwell with Him?

When Israel encamped around the sanctuary, they were grouped into three tribes each for the four cardinal directions. When departing for their travels,[6] they would begin in the east and follow clockwise around the tabernacle (East, South, West, North), being the order that God had specified in Numbers 2, where the sequence is given. Going forward, we will consider the assignments in the camp order specified there, since the tribes of heaven are about to set forward on their journey to the Promised Land.

The blessings of Jacob in Genesis 49 provide us with the basis for discerning which tribes are represented in which constellations of the sign of the Son of man. Yet some of those “blessings” are more like curses, similar to how certain constellations generally have negative symbolism. This does not speak to the character of the redeemed, for they have overcome in Christ, who took their curse upon Himself. For the heavenly inheritance, no curse remains, and no land is divided. So whether blessing or curse, Jacob’s prophecies offer clues as to which tribe is described by which constellation as you will see.

To Dine with Jesus

On the east, the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun are listed in that order.[7] Which of the constellations of the sign of the Son of man count as their representative lots? Let’s look at the blessing of Judah in parts to find the relationships.

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. (Genesis 49:8)

Here, we clearly see references to the Messiah, Jesus, who came from the tribe of Judah, so we can be sure that the constellation would be one that represents Jesus.

  • Orion: Jesus as our High Priest
  • Eridanus: Jesus as our Example (in baptism)
  • Horologium: Jesus as our Time
  • Columba: The Holy Spirit, our Comforter who is the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us[8] 

The imagery of the hand at the neck of his enemies mentioned in the blessing points to Orion, who is not only illustrated as a hunter, but as we saw in Thy Kingdom Come, is depicted with the Lord’s enemies in the place of His footstool.[9] 

Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? (Genesis 49:9)

The Lion Face Not only do we see allusions to being a hunter, but a direct association with a lion, and Orion is normally depicted as holding the carcass of a lion. One may inquire why a carcass? Consider the biblical story of Samson and the roaring lion that he killed with his bare hands, which later attracted an active hive of honeybees, which led to him putting forth a riddle:

So he said to them:

“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.”

Now for three days they could not explain the riddle. (Judges 14:14 NKJV)

Jesus is said to be the Lion of the tribe of Judah, a symbol of His strong Kingship, but in this story, His sacrifice is depicted in an unusual combination, and connected with the sweetness of the land of promise that flows with milk and honey. From Orion, representing Christ’s sacrifice, there is a table spread abundantly with something to eat and something sweet.

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10)

Orion represents the Lawgiver from Judah, as we saw in The Melody of God’s Law, where Orion sits as the King who receives praise when His Ten Commandments are sung through the experience of His people.

Tribe of Judah's Position

Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. (Genesis 49:11-12)

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? (Job 38:31)

Orion is even “bound” to a neighboring animal in the heavens: the “unicorn”. Notice how the same passage of Job continues in the same theme with references to the bound animals:

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass [implying that the domesticated ass is tied]? (Job 39:5)

Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? (Job 39:10)

The unicorn (which is really a rhinoceros, hence the challenge of domesticating this untamable animal) is only mentioned a handful of times in the Bible, so its mention in a similar relation to the donkey seems to be significant. The next tribe seems to bear out this relation as well:

Binding his foal

Issachar is a strong ass, couching down between the sheepfolds: And he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under taskwork. (Genesis 49:14-15 ASV)

We have recognized how the enclosed part of the sign of the Son of man represents a sheepfold, but since Orion represents the Lord’s kingdom, it, too, may be counted as a sheepfold. There is only one animal that is wedged between the constellations of the enclosed sheepfold and Orion: the Monoceros. Thus, we see a consistent association between the donkey and the unicorn constellation. Notice also how Issachar’s blessing seems to answer the question put to Job: “Will the unicorn harrow the valleys after thee?” Issachar “became a servant under taskwork [forced labor].”

When we look at the third member of the eastern group, we unearth an old mystery:

Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon. (Genesis 49:13)

Here, specific details of the borders of Zebulun are prophesied, yet the physical allotment in Israel for Zebulun among the tribes could not be described according to the prophecy. The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary concedes to the mystery:

The territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun under Joshua may be ascertained from the boundaries and towns mentioned in Joshua 19:10–16. At that time it neither reached to the Mediterranean nor touched directly upon Zidon. It lay between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean, near to both, but separated from the former by Naphtali and from the latter by Asher. This prophecy may have found its fulfillment, however, at some later time. The remarkable fulfillment of all Jacob’s prophetic utterances that can be checked excludes the possibility that this one should have remained unfulfilled, though the Bible is silent on the point.

Sometimes when the Bible is silent on an issue relevant to the end-times, it is because the solution is given in God’s first book in the heavens. And Jacob did suggest such an application:

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. (Genesis 49:1)

Jacob’s prophecies to the twelve tribes may indeed have been generally fulfilled to the literal tribes (the Hebrew expression “in the last days” doesn’t necessarily refer to the very end of the world but could apply to a nonspecific “future time”). But God is an Expert in dual applications of the prophetic words He gives to His people, and they are often more relevant to the end-of-the-world application than an earlier one.

There is a clear connection between Zebulun’s blessing and the constellations of Argo Navis, the ship in the sea. If this assignment can be confirmed by further evidence, then we could explain the riddle of how a landlocked nation could be described as a haven for ships! The other geographical detail is that its border would be unto Zidon, which is a city of Asher. Thus, if Asher’s blessing does not fit to a constellation bordering Argo Navis, the mystery would remain unsolved. Soon we will find out!

Before we move on, notice how the three eastern constellations are led by one representing Jesus. Orion is in the lead, and the others follow behind. Even on the small scale, Jesus is depicted as dwelling among His people, yet being their Head.

The Tribes to the East

To Live Like Jesus

The next group in the sign of the Son of man is the southern group. These are Reuben, Simeon, and Gad.[10] Looking first at the blessing proffered on Reuben, it soon becomes clear which constellation must represent him.

Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. (Genesis 49:3-4)

A significant insight is exposed from the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary about the instability of water:

The word translated “unstable,” literally, “a boiling over” of water, implies, figuratively, giving in to one’s emotions. Another form of the same root word is used in Judges 9:4 and Zeph. 3:4 for frivolity and pride. Jacob thus described the moral weakness of Reuben’s character, by which he forfeited the privileges as a first-born.

Cetus Steals from God's Kingdom This becomes very meaningful when we consider the significance of the different regions of the Eridanus. First, recall that the large diversion of the river, which is illustrated as though Cetus (representing Satan) is willfully trying to steal it away from God’s kingdom. The Eridanus also represents the blood of Jesus flowing from His side (from Orion), and therefore His pure DNA as the first and only begotten of God: the excellency of dignity and power. It is clear, therefore, that the sign shows Satan’s attempt to wreak havoc on the DNA of God’s people. And this is what the curse end of the prophecy shows.

The marriage bed is a sacred place not to be intruded upon. But Reuben went to his father’s marital bed, just as many today have gone to the Father’s sacred space of human genetics, and have defiled it with their own genetic seed (the human-encoded mRNA or DNA of the popular Covid vaccines). And what led to this? The instability of emotion—especially the fear excited by media programming to motivate people to get vaccinated.

The Seven Churches of Revelation Some useful clues may also be derived from the associations previously made of the seven churches of Revelation with the constellations of the sign of the Son of man. At the end of the river Eridanus is the spit-out church of Laodicea. This biblical symbol is closely associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was God’s “firstborn” remnant people, being the first to recognize the hour of judgment. But despite their advantageous privilege, after generations of unchecked apostasy, they ultimately gave in to the societal pressures and began to actively promote the Covid-19 gene-injections with all the energy of their government officials. As Reuben did with his birthright, they forfeited their remnant position and God chose another to receive that honor: Philadelphia, who is represented in the small part of the river Eridanus within the sign.

The prophecy for the tribe of Simeon is combined with that of Levi, so it must share certain characteristics with another constellation. The first line of the prophecy narrows down the field:

Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. (Genesis 49:5)

There are only two constellations in the sign of the Son of man that are instruments or tools: the stone chisel (Caelum) and the Reticulum, a tool for an eyepiece with a network of crossing threads, or as depicted in the artwork, crosshairs.

Instruments of Cruelty

These tools are not normally used for violent purposes, which reflects the deception Simeon and Levi exercised in their revenge on the people of Shechem, which is the theme of their “blessing,” which is really a curse. Within the reticulum, the crossed hairs could suggest a cross, which is certainly an instrument of cruelty. Likewise, the word translated in the King James Version as “habitations” (only used here in the Bible) reveals another source of cruelty:

H4380 מְכֵרָה mkerah (mek-ay-raw’) n-f.
1. a sword
[probably from the same as H3564 [which root means “properly, to dig through”] in the sense of stabbing]

The chisel could be weaponized as a stabbing tool.

O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. (Genesis 49:6-7)

Notice that it says they slew a man. The reference is to Shechem, but the expression could be represented by the allusion to the crosshairs of a gun's scope in the Reticulum, by which a person is violently killed. On the other hand, the digging down of a wall, drawing from the root word, is more fitting to the use of a stone chisel.

More directly, the Reticulum is named after its fine network structure, like a fisherman’s net. And for the fish which are lifted out of their life-sustaining environment using a net, it signals a sure death, after a time of helplessly flopping around for lack of water. This is like what Simeon and Levi practiced against the men of Shechem, whom they snared in their evil net of deceit by killing the men of the town in their weakened state.

For man also knoweth not his time [to die]: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. (Ecclesiastes 9:12)

But how can we distinguish between Simeon and Levi? Despite this curse, the tribe of Levi showed that they reformed their ways and stood for the Lord when all others went along with the crowd, and thus Levi came to the priesthood, although ultimately still scattered in Israel. We have recognized in the Caelum, an instrument for engraving writing. As such, it serves as a sealing tool for God’s children. This is in line with the role of the priesthood, and thus fits with Levi. Similarly, the mention of tearing down a wall with the stone chisel brings to mind the mishandling of God’s law, which serves as a protective barrier or wall for His people. Having received the priesthood for their commitment, they were to teach and uphold that law.

It follows that the tribe of Simeon must be associated with the Reticulum as the only other instrument in the sign of the Son of man. Then last in the southern sequence is the tribe of Gad, of whom, but one prophetic line was given:

Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. (Genesis 49:19)

This prophecy is quite similar conceptually to Jesus’ promise to the church of Smyrna:

…be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. (Revelation 2:10)

The Smyrnaeans were under persecution and some of them were compelled to give their lives for their faith. The troops of Satan overcame them, but Jesus promised that “at the last”, because Christ is the resurrection and the life,[11] their enemies would suffer the second death, while they would be untouched by it.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. (Revelation 2:11)

As we deciphered in The Final Gathering, the church of Smyrna is represented by the constellation of Dorado, the golden fish. Their faith was tried like gold in the fire. Note how Jesus acknowledged that they were rich…

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. (Revelation 2:9)

…and how He counseled the Laodiceans to become rich:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (Revelation 3:18)

Unlike Laodicea, Smyrna already had the golden character tried in the fire of trial and tribulation. Thus, we can see that Gad, situated in the position of Smyrna, fits with the symbolism of the gold tried in the fire, who becomes more brilliant as he overcomes the fire in the end—in the resurrection.

The Tribes to the South

The tribes of the south are led by Reuben, represented in the Eridanus. This is the constellation that represents Jesus buried in the waters of baptism, so we see that the trend is consistent with this set of three tribes as well, that the constellation where Jesus is also represented leads the set.

The Four Living Beings At this point, an old, solved mystery comes to mind. In 2010, one of the earliest and simplest concepts of the Orion clock is that of the four beasts around the throne, each with a different face:

And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. (Revelation 4:7)

These point to character traits of Jesus that governed how He lived on earth, and the specified sequence was applied to the four outer stars of Orion, recognizing that the face of sacrifice is represented by the calf. In the stars of Orion, it is symbolized by Betelgeuse, which is visibly reddish in color, representing The Calf Face the blood of the offering. Thus, the four faces, going clockwise around the Orion clock and beginning with the star Saiph, are the conquering lion, the sacrificial calf, the reasoning man, and the flying eagle.

Considering this, we see what may be a correlation between these faces and the representatives of Jesus in each set of three constellations. The lion represents Jesus in Orion—the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the leader of the eastern group. The calf points to Jesus’ sacrificial character revealed in the river Eridanus, which symbolizes the blood and water that flowed from His side when He was pierced to confirm His death on the cross. Will the trend continue?

To Choose Like Jesus

Before continuing to examine the location of the tribes in the sign of the Son of man, it is appropriate to look a bit more closely at the river that flows from Orion, containing His spiritual gene of sacrifice. Every child of Abraham by faith is to embrace the sacrificial character of Christ. When we have the spiritual DNA of our Lord, we have His character in us, and we receive His life. In relation to the churches, this explains why the church of Philadelphia, which had no reproach against it, is represented in the center of the river (that part of the constellation assigned to the tribe of Reuben that is within the boundary of the great fish). This church has a special role in relation to the people of God, and to the sign of the Son of man. His promise to them is to be understood in this context:

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)

Philadelphia at the Baptism Scene The alpha and omega in the heavens is written on the forehead of Philadelphia. There is more to be understood from this promise that we will discover soon, but as we explained in The Final Gathering, Philadelphia occupies the position of Christ’s baptism, and includes the constellations of the engraving tool and the dove, showing that they have been sealed in the baptism of Christ, and have become the signet by which others are to be sealed in the same baptism.

In that day [when the Lord overthrows the kingdoms; i.e., the seventh trumpet time], saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel [governor of Judah], my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts. (Haggai 2:23)

When James and John sought to sit at the right and left of Jesus in His kingdom, Jesus spoke of a special baptism:

But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. (Matthew 20:22)

This baptism was not the one that John the Baptist had baptized Him with, but an immersion in an experience of drinking a bitter cup—the cup He would have avoided in Gethsemane if it were possible. It is the cup of the cross, the cup of sacrificing one’s life. The Eridanus, wherein Philadelphia is baptized, flows with the blood of Christ’s sacrifice and the water of eternal life that spilled from Jesus’ side while He was on the cross. His sacrifice was not just of His blood, like a faithful martyr, to whom is promised eternal life. His sacrifice was also to give the very water of His eternal life for others. Only Jesus endured both forms of sacrifice,[12] while to the martyrs, He promises eternal life,[13] and to Philadelphia, who puts the benefit of others above even their own eternal lives, He promises to protect from physical death until He comes.[14] 

In the center of the Eridanus is the symbol of that special baptism with which Jesus was baptized and in which we choose to participate.

But do not choose according to your carnal desires! James and John sought to be at the Lord’s right and left hand, but in the context of the sign of the Son of man, the symbolism at Orion’s left is nothing to desire. The twelve tribes are all at Orion’s right side inside the sign, where He shows the good harvest gathered into the kingdom that God prepared from the foundation of the world.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: (Matthew 25:34)

To the Right Hand and to the Left But on Orion’s left is prepared something else:

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: (Matthew 25:41)

Those who seek position for themselves, may find themselves in the imagery at Orion’s left hand, where the devil and his angels are depicted as Cetus and the phoenix, amid which is the Alchemist’s fire that melts the elements with fervent heat.[15] 

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:46)

Those who do not overcome of Laodicea join the multitudes in the grip of Cetus who have been vaccinated into the camp of the goats on Jesus’ left. The sign, prepared from the foundation of the world by the Father who sent the comets in their precise orbit to fulfill His word millennia later, shows His preparations in the kingdom of God at His right and the outer darkness at His left.

How true the words, “Ye know not what ye ask”! Do not choose Laodicea’s lukewarm waters, nor the polluted river of death where Cetus claims ownership of those who were careless and corrupted their lifeblood by receiving the serpent’s DNA instead of Christ’s.

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. (Matthew 20:23)

And how near is Philadelphia to the realm of the lost!? She is even in the same stream! They follow the example of their Savior who came to dwell among the lost to give them an opportunity for salvation.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)

To Rest in Jesus

As we continue clockwise from the south, we come to the west, where the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are stationed.[16] Now we run into a small problem in our associations, because Ephraim and Manasseh are not among those blessed in Genesis 49, and although Jacob did give a blessing to them earlier, he only said Ephraim would be greater than Manasseh—hardly enough to link it to a constellation.

As we learned from our association of the tribes to the Mazzaroth signs,[17] the tribes of Joseph’s children serve as replacements for others. In this case, Joseph himself and Levi. Therefore, the corresponding blessings to consider are those of Joseph and Levi. But how should we pair them? In Israel’s history, Ephraim was sometimes used interchangeably with Joseph. For example, consider the word of the Lord to Ezekiel:

Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: (Ezekiel 37:16)

Notice that Ephraim was used as a representative for Joseph, while there was no mention of Manasseh, showing that Ephraim is appropriate to replace Joseph. Furthermore, Joseph received a portion more from Jacob than his brethren:

Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. (Genesis 48:22)

This reiterates that Ephraim, who was to be greater than Manasseh, stands for Joseph, while Manasseh stands in Levi’s place. Thus, we consider the blessing of Joseph for Ephraim:

Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: (Genesis 49:22)

The Tree of Life Given the understanding that the Horologium stands for the tree of life, we can see a clear correlation already. It is planted beside the “well” of the Eridanus, and its cometary branches—the leaves supplied by comet BB—indeed run over the constellation boundaries.

The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) (Genesis 49:23-24)

There is surely no message more hated and attacked than a time message, such as the Horologium represents. Nevertheless, when one looks up to God for the understanding of time, He gives strength by His own hands, representing the heavenly bodies. Many fail to recognize that God has the authority to make the time known,[18] even if 2000 years ago, it could be said that Jesus Himself did not know.

The bow is a weapon, and unlike most other constellations in the sign of the Son of man,[19] the Horologium depicts a weapon in the pendulum: the sword coming out of the Lord’s mouth, with which (during which time) He will smite the nations, as with a rod of iron.[20] 

Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. (Genesis 49:25-26)

The manifold blessings described for Joseph reflect how time is a blessing to every area of our lives, for only through time can one have experience. No other constellation can represent such varied aspects of life.

Next in the western camp is the tribe of Manasseh, which we already dealt with. Manasseh replaces the tribe of Levi, whose blessing was united with that of Simeon, and is connected with the Caelum.

For Benjamin, the relationship is clear:

Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. (Genesis 49:27)

There is only fitting constellation, since wolves are in the family of dogs: Canis Major. This constellation is even understood to be chasing its prey (the hare, Lepus).

The Tribes to the West

Leading the western group is once again the constellation representing Jesus. Jesus is with His people and leading them in every quarter of the world. In the west, Jesus is represented by a clock, which bears a special position in the sign, both visually at the mouth of the great fish—the entrance of the sheepfold—and in its role in marking the second coming of the Son of man—the time of His visitation, when He will destroy His enemies with the rod of iron and tread the winepress of His wrath.[21] It presents a contrast between those who enter into His rest, and those who are trampled in His winepress.

The Man Face With time, Jesus pleads with man: “Don’t be ignorant of the time of your visitation,” but enter into My rest, My sheepfold of time, where there is much spiritual nourishment. Jesus is presented as a Man of reason, having a knowledge of the time and warning that His hour of sacrifice has come.

The sword of the Lord [the pendulum] is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah [A name meaning “an enclosure” or “sheep fold”], and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. (Isaiah 34:6)

Take care not to fall prey to false shepherds who read into God’s heavenly works, words of their own choosing to suit the ears that itch for an easy and early rapture! The written word of God must be our guide to Time! Heed the watchman of Ephraim—the Horologium! God’s true Israel shall know when the time has come:

The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred. The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God. (Hosea 9:7-8)

When we remember our Creator and enter into His timely rest,[22] His visitation is our preservation:

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. (Job 10:12)

The one element of God’s character that is most disliked but is set apart as a sacred blessing (much like the timely blessings to Joseph) is described in the only commandment that relates to time.

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:11)

The Sabbath was made for man. The Sabbath is a temporal reminder that God is Creator, and not we ourselves. Christ is our Savior and not we ourselves. Have we learned from the schoolmaster of the law[23] to come to Him who can save us? Or do we seek to adjust His creation according to our gender dysphoria and woke madness? Do we seek to save ourselves from pandemics with the genetic work of our own hands, or rely on God to deliver us if He chooses? Do we provoke God and seek to deliver ourselves from His judgments, or desist from sin and enter into His rest, trusting ourselves into His care?

…To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. (Psalms 95:7-11)

Do not err in your heart through unbelief while seeing His heavenly work. Rather, enter into the Lord’s rest by faith.[24] The character of God is not exemplified in watching the minutes around sunset to know when the Sabbath should begin and your hectic, compressed day should suddenly collapse in a chaotic cloud of exhaustion. Nor is the character of God to ignore the day of the Lord’s visitation and miss the refreshing of His Spirit. Do not sacrifice the manifold blessings of Joseph by crowding them out with the hectic cares of a busy life. The character of God is to dwell with our Creator in His rest—today. Enter into the rest in Jesus and partake of the blessings of Time.

To Shine for Jesus

Following a clockwise rotation, after the west, we come to the north, where the tribes of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali form the last set.[25] 

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord. (Genesis 49:16-18)

The details of this prophecy point clearly to one constellation. First, there is the mention of a judge, and even in ancient times, every judge would have a special seat. In Israel, they would sit at the gate of the city where many would pass through. In modern times, the judge has a veritable throne of judgment in the court. There is one constellation that represents a seat: Lepus, the Lord’s contested footstool or throne. It is situated at the crossing of two paths, which also fits the description well: “Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path.

The serpent bite points to the number of the beast, which is a snake-venom-derived mRNA vaccination serum that deceptively strikes the unwitting passers-by, causing people to fall backward to their eternal death. The pensive statement, “I have waited for thy salvation,” is suggestive of our expectant waiting for the Lord’s deliverance from the agents of the last war.

Next in line is the tribe of Asher, of whom it is simply said,

Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. (Genesis 49:20)

The emphasis is on the richness of nourishment. In a literal form, it is said of this prophecy:

This refers to the fruitful soil that was to be Asher’s future region of abode. In fulfillment of this prediction Asher received as his inheritance the lowlands of Carmel on the Mediterranean, as far as the territory of Tyre. This is one of the most fertile parts of Canaan, abounding in wheat and oil, with which Solomon supplied the household of King Hiram (1 Kings 5:11).[26] 

In a spiritual sense, we have seen how the bowl of manna in the ark is represented by the dove as the bread from heaven. It is also the bowl of olive oil that is collected from the two olive trees of Zechariah’s vision. Though the description is brief, it unmistakably points to Columba, the dove. And with this assignment, we corroborate the heavenly answer to the mystery of Zebulun that has left scholars questioning for generations!

Border unto Zidon

Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon. (Genesis 49:13)

Sidon was a coastal town within the borders of Asher, and thus, if the border of Zebulun would come up to Sidon, it must reach to Asher. And indeed, we see that this is the case in the heavens, with the artwork of the ship even entering within the borders of Columba.

The dove also represents the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sent as His omnipresent Representative, being unencumbered with humanity. He it is who leads us into all truth. He, dwelling with us, has revealed the “royal dainties” fit for a king, from the searching of His word and the heavens.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2)

It is the Holy Spirit in the Christian’s midst, who, as with an oil-burning lamp, shines through us with the glory of Christ to all around.

Finally, Naphtali’s even shorter blessing is nevertheless a significant clue:

Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. (Genesis 49:21)

In these brief words is captured the imagery of the free spirit of a deer that quickly bounds away when let go. At the same time, it describes one who is skilled in expression. Would this description fit a fish or fisherman, a clock, river, or dog? No, nor even for the stone chisel, which may be used for artistic endeavors, but heavy stone doesn’t well fit a free spirit, bounding away like a doe. But it does fit for an artist, who paints his expressive pictures on an easel, represented in the constellation of Pictor. In fact, God made the contrast between writing His law in stone versus writing it on our hearts, where the Spirit-filled individual is set free from being externally restrained, having in their heart, the spiritual DNA of Christ that directs them from within with the supernatural power of His blood.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (John 8:36)

The goodly words of the gospel of freedom from sin in Christ are published for all to read in a life that embraces the righteousness of Christ by faith.

The Tribes to the North

As we consider the three tribes of the north, notice once again that they fall in a connected sequence. Furthermore, one among them stands as a representative of Christ. Only in this case, He is not in the bodily person of Jesus, but in the omnipresent form of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in our midst. Therefore, the dove is not in the lead position, but in the midst, because He dwells within us. And when we begin to zoom out, we make another realization.

Ezekiel's Cross Formed

Notice how the northern group forms something like Ezekiel’s cross with the western group, keeping the dove of the Holy Spirit in the midst. Indeed, the Spirit is in the center of the entire sign, showing that He dwells within us, regardless of what tribe we belong to.

But Jesus is also leading the northern tribes. The tribe of Dan is in the lead position, represented by Lepus. As we mentioned already, this constellation represents, in a negative sense the footstool of Orion, or in a positive sense, a throne. But when the Spirit of God is in our heart, who is leading us? The imagery makes is plain: it is Jesus in Orion who sits on the throne! He is ultimately in the lead position for this set of tribes as well!

The Complete Inheritance Map

And so, the pattern is now complete. All twelve tribes have taken their positions, and the placement is confirmed by the connected groups. But if we go too fast, we will miss an important detail. The dove is indeed at the center of the north and west groups, but why is the Spirit not represented in the midst of the groups in the East and South? Perhaps we haven’t seen the whole picture just yet! When we look at the heavens, it appears essentially as a flat “surface”, even though the stars are distributed throughout three-dimensional space. And just as we often illustrate three dimensions on a flat surface, so does God. If you look at the sequences of the tribes with an eye for the third dimension, what do you see?

Sequence of Tribes in Third Dimension

Does it not resemble another biblical image?

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, (Revelation 21:10)

The great and high mountain is the pyramidal representation of the Holy City illustrated in the sign of the Son of man. And now the true picture begins to settle into its proper place! The Holy Spirit is not just at the center of two tribe groups, but indeed, He is at the pinnacle of the entire city of the redeemed, pointing to a very special time in the ministry of Jesus: His baptism.

And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. (Luke 3:22)

In The Mystery of the Holy City Part II, it was revealed (in 2018) how the date of Jesus’ baptism is featured at the tip of the pyramidion of the Holy City. Christ’s baptism is that which fulfills all righteousness.[27] What an amazing God we serve! How can one adequately express the infinite wisdom and beauty of our Creator?

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:6-7)

And note the gap in the southern tribes and recognize its significance. The clockface fills the gap. The knowledge of time is the stone that the builders rejected, but like our Lord whom the clock represents, it has become the chief cornerstone!

The Eagle Face And here we see the final face of Jesus: the eagle. It calls forth the remembrance of the Exodus experience, looking back after our eyes behold the fair city:

Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: (Exodus 19:4-5)

The peculiar treasure is the Holy City, the bride adorned for her Husband. She has the Holy Spirit within her so that she keeps the covenant in her heart, and He shines brightly through all twelve tribes within, like a city set on a hill.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill [the high celestial mountain of the sign of the Son of man] cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

The seven churches of Revelation are described as seven candlesticks (or lampstands), but here we have a single candlestick.[28] Just as the 12 tribes all converge into one city, so also the 7 churches with their individual lampstands are unified into one body: the great fish, which is the lampstand for the light of the Holy Spirit to shine before the world. Can one understand such heavenly wonders without falling down before our Father and giving Him glory for His ways, which are beyond comprehension!?

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it [indeed, they do not pass through it]: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Revelation 21:23)

In this verse, we see also that the divine Spirit is also One with the Father and the Son, for He is the glory of God (the Father), shining with the light of Christ.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (1 John 5:7)

All four groups of tribes come together to illustrate the structure of the city, with the Holy Spirit brightly shining in all, and at the broad base, the three depictions of Jesus lay on the outer edges, representing the base of the pyramid.

To Be Baptized Like Jesus

The symbolism is not lost when we look at the two-dimensional side-view of the great fish, however! The three constellations representing Jesus are at the foundation of this living temple whose chief cornerstone is Jesus.

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, (1 Peter 2:5-7)

And now we can understand God’s promise to Philadelphia:

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)

The Pillar of the Temple

The sign of the Son of man with the alpha and omega signature, not only represents the name of the Father (Alnilam) and the Son (Alnitak) in the stars of Orion’s belt, but the name, or character, of the city itself, as it encircles the seven churches and touches the twelve tribes. In the midst of the temple of God stands the pillar of Philadelphia’s baptism following the example of their Savior.

This pillar serves as a support for the temple, standing on the foundation of Time. Many look to literal Israel and the building of the third temple for their timepiece, but God would have us look up to His temple of Time!

It is a pillar of baptism in the spiritual cloud and of baptism by fire, as John the Baptist spoke of:

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he [as seen in the sign of the Son of man] shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: (Matthew 3:11)

This pillar is that which burned continually by the Holy Spirit to give light by night, and a cloud by day.

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: (Exodus 13:21)

Thus, in perfect sequence with the outline of the Exodus experience illustrated by comet K2, the Red Sea crossing is illustrated between the Passover midnight departure from Egypt at the Horologium, and the Pentecost experience of receiving the law at Mt. Sinai.

Parting the Red Sea

What feast day lies between? It is the seventh day of unleavened bread, which is of particular significance to the modern church of Philadelphia, because it was on that day in 2016, when the sacrificial baptism which the church chose came into effect, as was described in United in the Tribulation Cross:

In the original type of Israel’s exodus from Egypt, which began on Passover day, they came to the Red Sea by the end of the feast, and on the seventh day of the feast the waters parted for them to cross over. The whole sequence represents man’s journey from the bondage of sin to freedom and salvation in heaven. Jesus was our Passover Lamb, and He sanctifies His people throughout our lives (represented by the week of the feast of unleavened bread) until, in the end, we are finally ready for the rapture. Thus, the holy convocation on the seventh day of the feast represents the rapture.

That day of gathering, which pointed to the pre-tribulation rapture when we would cross the final frontier into heaven, now points to a complement of Jesus’ sacrifice[29] at the opposite end of the feast of unleavened bread—the measure of the stature of the example of Christ. By praying for the Lord to cancel the church’s rapture flight for the good of the left behind, we planted our cross in its place.

The Seventh Day of Unleavened Bread

Philadelphia’s baptism was to walk in the character of the Lord and make the sacrifice[30] of asking Him to hold back the rapture and wait until more people would come to the light of truth—a delay that brought the world into the valley of the shadow of death. Since then, the world has changed completely on many fronts, not the least of which is the constant pressure to get vaccinated and receive the number of the beast in foreign genes (which is already ramping up for a second round that promises to be much stronger in the time of the third woe that is looming over the world).

This is the “baptism unto Moses”—the man who opted to be blotted out of God’s book for the sake of those in his care—which Paul described (who also would have chosen to be accursed for others[31]):

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers [the twelve tribes] were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (1 Corinthians 10:1-2)

The Red Sea crossing was the final act of Israel’s victory over the Egyptians. Have you crossed over yet? Have you been baptized with the baptism of the Son of man unto a character of sacrifice that will hold nothing back—not your eagerness to escape in the rapture, nor even your own place in God’s kingdom—to see a lost soul find salvation in the Lord? Are you willing to eat the same spiritual manna and drink from the same Rock as one body, one church, one city of God?

And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. (1 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Therefore learn from the example of ancient Israel and demonstrate faith rather than unbelief.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (1 Corinthians 10:11)

One strives to enter into the kingdom by taking heed to the admonition to walk in belief.

Strive to enter in at the strait gate [at the Horologium]: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: (Luke 13:24-25)

Why would Jesus not know where many are from? Jesus uses very similar words as in the parable of the virgins, who stood outside the door, and the Lord did not know them. This knowledge is about their identity. When one changes their genetic makeup, they are no longer recognizable to the Creator. They have made themselves the master of their own house and can have no part with Jesus.

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. (Luke 13:28-29)

Who is it who comes from the four directions into the kingdom of God? The Revelation describes the 144,000 virgins who are sealed into the twelve tribes.

The beginning of Jacob’s last speech to his children is reminiscent to what we see the Lord doing through the sign of the Son of man. Jesus is calling all His children from the spiritual tribes of Israel to gather into the sheepfold of truth in the sign of the Son of man. The final gathering is taking place and the message is to hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. (Genesis 49:1-2)

Now is the time for decision. Now is the time for commitment. Now is the time to shine like the stars with the truth.[32] In this dark hour of human history, God is calling all who will hear His voice to gather together into His body, into the tribes of heaven, being baptized with His baptism.

The hour of trial and confusion is upon the world, but God has provided an ark of safety in His heavenly haven. Be faithful and do not compromise your Christian identity with the number of the beast. Uphold the image of God in man as He created them: male and female. And enter into the Creator’s rest through repentance, rather than working to save the planet from the fiery judgments resulting from sin, such as the climate activists incessantly enjoin upon the world.

Let the light of the city of God, set on the high hill of heaven, shine to the world, because the Bridegroom cometh! Jesus said He would come again and receive those who believe on Him to Himself to the place He has prepared for them. You have a place in the sign of the Son of man! A place for those who follow the Lord in sacrifice.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. (Mark 8:34-35)

Do not be among the tribes of the earth, who mourn because they have not the protection given to the tribes of heaven. Hear His voice and believe that He is coming in the cometary clouds of heaven.

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:30)

This is a time of repentance, a time to embrace the heavenly message, a time to leave behind all prejudice and humbly respond to the Spirit’s call to come under His wings and be baptized in His character.

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

Will you receive the blessing of God for Israel?

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, on this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, the Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face [in Orion] shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance [in the Horologium] upon thee, and give thee peace [represented in Columba]. And they shall put my name [Alnitak of Orion] upon the children of Israel [the spiritual tribes], and I will bless them. (Numbers 6:23-27)

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17)

Many assume that this points to the literal nation of Israel, but no one has a record anymore of what literal tribe they were born in, so such a fulfillment could never be seen. 
2.
This is not to be confused with the confused Zodiac signs of astrology, nor does it relate to one’s personality or ideal partner, etc. It is simply a determination of one’s birth tribe for the Israel of faith.
