SAGITTARIUS: GATE OF THE GODS
"[Sagittarius] is a centaur--part man and part horse, and he is an archer. The word Sagittarius means 'The Archer.' In Akkadian, he is called Nun-ki, which means 'The Prince of the Earth.'. ...this depicts Christ...the victorious one--the risen and victorious king. He comes now as an archer... destroying Satan... The human portion of the Centaur is drawing a bow and aiming an arrow at Antares, the very heart of the Scorpion... So here we see that Christ, the Conquering One, is the One whose arrow is aimed at the Scorpion.
"That this is a picture of Christ is made clear in Revelation 6:2 where we read of Christ coming forth in glory: 'And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.' Here is the One who comes upon a white horse, who has a bow, and goes forth conquering and to conquer. The one who is conquered is, first of all, the leader of the host of all of the ungodly, namely--Satan, or the Scorpion, Sagittarius (Christ) is the conqueror of the Scorpion." (D. James Kennedy) (872:46)
And I saw when the Lamb opened ONE OF THE SEALS, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. - Rev. 6:1-2
Kennedy's exposition of the Book of Revelation is typical of Reformed theology, which derives its eschatology from St. Augustine, the 'Father of Roman Catholicism'. Augustine's City of God served to advance the agenda of the Roman Church, which was to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. Rather than interpreting the book of Revelation as a prophecy of the end times, Catholic and Reformed theologians allegorize the prophecies in order to apply them to Christ and the Church. Dispensational eschatology, which seeks the literal sense of Scripture unless a symbolic interpretation is warranted, contends that Rev. 6:1 cannot be spiritualized as Jesus Christ coming forth in glory to conquer Satan, the reason being that this occurs after the Tribulation period in Revelation 19. Correctly interpreted, Revelation 6:1 is the first Seal Judgment which commences the Tribulation Period.
Compounding his error, Kennedy further identifies the First Horseman of the Apocalypse with Sagittarius whose name, Nun-ki, is said to mean "Prince of the Earth" in Akkadian. Kennedy does not inform his readers that this language is Babylonian-Assyrian or that Nun-ki really means "son of Enki". "En.ki is the Sumerian Poseidon, the Chaldean Ea, the Babylonian Oannes, the Celtic Merlin, the Palestinian Dag, the Greek Dagon, the Irish Dagda and the Cretan Baal, who carries a trident like Poseidon and the Hindu Vishnu... Christians call En.ki the Devil or more appropriately a Sea Devil." (899) In the Merovingian Dragon tradition, "the importance of Cain was that he was directly produced by Enki [Satan] and Ava [Eve], so his blood was three quarters Anunnaki." (Laurence Gardner) (612)
"Sumerian texts repeatedly state that the Anunnaki came to Earth. The Anunnaki were four great Gods who created man: An ['Sky', the source of rain and most powerful of the gods]; Enlil ['Lord Wind', the power in 'Growing Weather']; Ninhursaga ['Lady of the Stony Ground', mother of wildlife]; and Enki [rival of Ninhursaga]. The term 'Anunnaki' literally means 'from or of the sky.' The Annunaki are regarded by some as the Sumerian ‘fates’. They are spoken of in the Bible as the 'Anakim' and 'Anak' or 'Nefilim' (nephilum). 'Nefilim' (nephilum) in Hebrew means 'giants' or 'those who have fallen'." (859)
The Anunnaki were actually the Nephilim of Genesis 6, fallen angels who mated with human women. The Centaur, therefore, represents a hybrid man and devil!
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.- Gen. 6:1-3
Contrary to pagan mythology, the Anunnaki did not create mankind but instead produced the demonic race of giants which God judged with a great flood. The son of Enki, Nun-ki — whom D. James Kennedy erroneously identifies as 'The Prince of the Earth' who 'depicts Christ'— was, in fact, sired by Satan. Such blasphemies abound in The Real Meaning of the Zodiac; in fact, it is asserted that nearly every beast of the Zodiac portrays the Lord Jesus Christ in His Messianic work of redemption. As the reader works his way through this heretical material, a very alien picture emerges of another Christ and another gospel.
GATE OF THE GODS
The Gates of the Sun are the two points on the Zodiac where it is believed that souls enter or leave the material world. Before the present Age of Pisces, the Gates of the Sun were Cancer and Capricorn. By this is meant that, in the preceding age of Aries, Cancer was in the Milky Way and, when the Sun passed through Cancer, souls from other star systems were able to incarnate into matter (Earth) to assist mankind (the Microcosm) to ascend to the Universal Soul (the Macrocosm) where they became gods. The latter could only take place when the Sun was in Capricorn, the sign opposite Cancer, which also intersected with the Milky Way during the Age of Aries. Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the 'Gates of the Gods' became Gemini and Sagittarius for the Age of Pisces. By 'precession of the equinoxes' is meant that, due to the earth’s wobble, the North Pole moves backward one zodiacal sign every 2,000 years. Albert Pike explains this astrological hogwash in Morals & Dogma:
"The Galaxy, Macrobius says, crosses the Zodiac in two opposite points, Cancer and Capricorn, the tropical points in the sun's course, ordinarily called the Gates of the Sun. These two tropics, before his time [Aries], corresponded with those constellations, but in his day [Pisces] with Gemini and Sagittarius, in consequence of the precession of the equinoxes; but the signs of the Zodiac remained unchanged; and the Milky Way crossed at the signs Cancer and Capricorn, though not at those constellations.
"Through these gates souls were supposed to descend to earth and re-ascend to Heaven. One, Macrobius says, in his dream of Scipio, was styled the Gate of Men; and the other, the Gate of the Gods. Cancer was the former, because souls descended by it to the earth; and Capricorn the latter, because by it they re-ascended to their seats of immortality, and became Gods." (155:437-8)
Occultists understand that the Macrocosm is a euphemism for the Underworld which their adepts and masters have convinced them is Paradise. Ancient Egyptians and the Constellations describes Sagittarius as the portal or birth canal leading to the Underworld in the present Age of Pisces. As the 'Galactic Stellar Womb' or Mother, Sagittarius will be impregnated by the Sun, the father, when it passes through this constellation, and this union will produce the New Age, the Age of Aquarius. That's right. The constellation Sagittarius is the Galactic Stellar Womb that will be impregnated by father Sun. {See Galactic Chart showing Sagittarius at the center of the Milky Way.}
The constellation of Sagittarius. This aspect of the Great Conjunction is of paramount importance because Sagittarius is the gateway to the centre of our galaxy. (This is the opening or portal to the Netherworld in mythology.) The galaxy to which Earth belongs is called the Milky Way. It is a flat, spiral galaxy except for at the centre where it bulges. You can actually see this bulge formed by the internal dotted lines of the Milky Way where the Sun is rising in the Constellation of Sagittarius on the computer simulation. This is the Galactic Stellar Womb from which the rest of the galaxy was conceived and born. Today the Womb is estimated to contain 200 billion suns! Sagittarius can be equated with the entrance to the birth canal of the galaxy. When the Sun is in Sagittarius as part of the Great Conjunction, it is fathering a New Age.. "The Great Conjunction, when the Sun fathers a New Age, will last for only a split second of Time. Nearly three hours later, at 9:34 am, the Sun will be risen and the new child of the Age of Aquarius will have been born. As with the virgin births of Hesus and Jesus, the father is God the Sun. However in this instance the child is conceived in the Womb of Sagittarius, the Mother. The child is the new-born Son/Sun of God in the Age of Aquarius. God the Father and God the Son are one and the same. They are both the Sun. In the New Age of Aquarius the Sun is risen … the Son is risen." - 903 (Part 16)
Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions... Is. 66:4
LYRA, THE HARP
The first decan, or minor constellation, in Sagittarius is Lyra, which astrologers have cast in the shape of a lyre or harp. Astrologers, including D. James Kennedy and E. W. Bullinger, combine the lyre with an eagle rising.
"We now come to the three decans, or minor points, which exist in Sagittarius. The first one is Lyra, The Harp, or lyre, meaning 'Praise for the Conqueror.' Lyra is shown as a harp combined with an eagle or an eagle rising with a harp." - (872:48)
The rising eagle is extraordinarily similar to the symbol on the Great Seal of the United States, which we learned in the section on Scorpio symbolized the rebirth of mankind after its annihilation. Note that the Great Seal even incorporates Lyra's harp, albeit camouflaged with the American stripes!
We quote here from David Ovason's book, The Secret Architecture of the Nation's Capitol,
in which he impassively states that the American people have been thoroughly deceived by
this abstruse imagery whilst initiates of the secret societies mock at their ignorance:"...if one is going to study the arcane background to the formation of the United States,
one should start with the eagle, which is also the heraldic bird on the obverse of the Seal
of the United States of America. This fearsome-looking bird, so widely used in the symbolism
of the States, is what esotericists have called an 'open mystery': by contrast the eagle as used
by the early Masons, and by the Rosicrucians and alchemists before them, was an 'occult blind'.
This means that it was designed to carry an open symbolism acceptable to the uninitiated, yet,
at the same time, to hide a more profound meaning accessible only to those familiar with arcane
symbolism." (512:218)
What is the symbolism of the lyre or harp in the Great Seal and Lyra, the Harp as interpreted by
astrology? In the pre-flood world, musical instruments were invented by the descendants of Cain
for pagan worship.
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of
Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and
called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. And unto Enoch was born Irad: and
Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. And Lamech
took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. And
Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. And his
brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. And Zillah,
she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain
was Naamah. - Gen. 4:17-22
"As pointed out by Laurence Gardner in 'Genesis of the Grail Kings', the biblical Tubal-cain (who
is revered in scientific Freemasonry) was the great Vulcan of Mesopotamia during the reign of Egypt's
King Narmer (c.3200 BC). He was a prominent alchemist and the greatest metallurgist of his age,
while his step-brother Jubal was said to be 'the ancestor of all who handle the lyre and pipe' - whence
the word Jubilee, meaning 'a blast of trumpets' or 'to lead with triumph or pomp'. The ritual connection
in pleasing the gods with brass horns and trumpets is very apparent in this era and a later association
between angels and the medieval buisine (long trumpet) probably originates from this time." - 740
Vega: The Real Stargate
The brightest star in the constellation of Lyra, the Harp, is also a second magnitude star in our galaxy.
Vega is described by E.W. Bullinger as a most glorious star which means 'He shall be exalted':"Its brightest star, a, is one of the most glorious in the heavens, and by it this constellation may be easily
known. It shines with a splendid white lustre. It is called Vega, which means He shall be exlted. Its
root occurs in the opening of the Song of Moses, quoted above. Is not this wonderfully expressive?"
(Bullinger) 939 "Lyra"
Rev. Kennedy agrees with Rev. Bullinger.
"A very bright star in [Lyra] is Vega, a glittering gem in the night sky, and means 'He Shall Be Exalted'.
Vega has been this star's name down through antiquity. It is the name which God Himself gave to it that
He should be exalted—that Christ has come forth conquering and to conquer. What should be our
response to that? Our response should be: He shall be exalted! It is interesting that this term is found in
the song of Moses, after God overthrew the forces of Pharaoh in the Red Sea: 'I will sing unto the Lord,
for he hath triumphed gloriously' (Exodus 15:1).
"Verse 12 of Psalm 21 talks about making ready for His arrows against the face of them and says, 'Be
thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength; so will we sing and praise thy power. The very meaning of
the star Vega is 'He Shall Be Exalted.' By His great power and might has He conquered; therefore, we
are to sing His praises." (872:48)
Contrary to this false teaching, Vega does not mean 'exalted' but precisely the opposite. This Arabic word
means "falling." As a matter of fact, it means 'falling eagle'—as in Lucifer, symbolized by the eagle, falling
from heaven!
Vega. Medieval Latin, from Arabic (an-nasr) al-w qi‘, the falling (eagle), Vega: al-, the + w qi‘, falling,
active participle of waqa‘a, to fall; see wq in Semitic Roots. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Published by
Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations! - Isaiah 14:12
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. - Luke 10:18
Kennedy, Bullinger, et al, do err in identifying Vega a symbol of Christ, the Exalted One, for it is obvious
that the Christ symbolized by Vega is Lucifer, the Fallen One! Vega's placement in the constellation of Lyra,
the Harp, is most Biblical. Lucifer was created as the most brilliant of all of the angels and occupied an exalted
position in Heaven, below only the Godhead. Before his rebellion, Lucifer appears to have led the worship of
God in musical ways, being the chief musician of Heaven.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the
diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God;
thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day
that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. - Ezek. 28:13-15
When he presumed to exalt himself above God, Lucifer was cast down to earth where, through the ages, he
has craved the worship of men and has often been the object of their worship. Moreover, the worship of Lucifer
has typically been accompanied by music of the occult genre. During the Tribulation period, the music which
will accompany the worship of Lucifer will also facilitate altered states of consciousness and even levitation.
According to The Fixed Stars, the star, Vega, gives the appearance of being pale sapphire. Ezekiel 28:13
(above) states that, prior to his expulsion from heaven, Lucifer was covered with precious stones, and among
these gems is mentioned the sapphire. Occult sources correctly describe Vega as a 'falling vulture'. The Fixed
Stars states that the Vega vulture is based on the Greek myth of Orpheus, who was the greatest of all musicians
and the first rock star!
"A pale sapphire star in the Lyre Lyra. Vega from Arabic Al-Waqi', 'The stooping' eagle or 'The swooping
Vulture', and is often referred to as 'The Vulture Star', 'The Sitting Vulture', 'The Falling Grype' and figured
with upturned head with a lyre in its beak from the story of Orpheus [who might be described as the prototype
of our modern pop-star] who was torn apart by the Maenads, raving mad-women [or fans], they cast the lyre
in the river. Jupiter sent a vulture to scoop it out of the river and then placed it in the sky..." (1043) 'Lyra'
Lucifer Rising
It becomes apparent that eagle on the Great Seal of the U.S. represents, in fact, the Masonic delusion of
Lucifer rising from the ashes of defeat to 'be exalted' as God, a status formerly denied him (and will elude
him once again). Lucifer's former estate is allegedly reflected in the fact that Vega was once the Pole Star,
the closest star to the Northern Celestial Pole, which, in astrology, is regarded as the throne of God. Note
in the following profile of Vega the exalted titles of this star, which correspond to the titles of Lucifer and
his emissaries:
In Babylonian astronomy, Vega, alpha Lyra, is identified with Dilgan, the 'Messenger of Light', a name
also applied to other stars. At one time Vega/Wega was the Pole-star called in Akkadian Tir-anna 'Life of
Heaven', and in Assyrian Daya-same ('Judge of Heaven'), as having the highest seat therein; but fourteen
millenniums have passed since Wega occupied that position. In Egypt it was Maat, the Vulture-star, when it
marked the pole,- this was 12,000 to 15,000 BCE, and it was the orientation point of some of the temples at
Denderah, probably 7,000 BCE,- one of the oldest dates claimed in connection with Egyptian temple worship,
because of the precession of the equinoxes, it is no longer the Pole Star; 'the still point in the turning world'.
The Indians called this star Abhtlit, 'The Victorious One'. This was a star of good omen signaling the defeat
of the Asuras by the gods (the triumph of good over evil). The Arabs called part of this constellation (alpha,
eta, and zeta) Al Naar al Waki, the swooping "Stone Eagle of the Desert". The word Vega, derives from this
Arab name and means the "Plunging One". [SLM p.284]." (833) "Lyra"
Ominously, Vega (aka Lucifer) is regarded as the 'Judge of Heaven', which Richard Hinckley Allen identifies
with Ma'at in Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning. Ma'at was last seen in the section on Libra as the 'Scales
of Justice'. "The Egyptians also saw in Libra, a set of Scales, called 'the Scales Of Maat', one in which the human
heart was to be weighed after death." (833, 'Libra') The reader will recall that Ma'at was 'the spirit of
Freemasonry;' indeed, Ma'at, the judge of mankind, is Freemasonry. It appears the Freemasons have appointed
themselves the judges of mankind! Yet how very telling that Ma'at is also Vega, i.e. Lucifer.
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will
sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High. - Isaiah 14:13-14
On a planisphere, at 8 p.m. on November 22, the day Noah on which disembarked from the Ark, Vega
corresponds to the capstone of a pyramid known as the Summer Triangle.
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: Gen. 8:14-18 |

Vega is positioned at the Apex of the Sun's Way. The opposite point in the heavens, the Sun's Quit, lies between the stars Sirius and Canopus, also in the Milky Way. These two important points on the Milky Way—Vega in Sagittarius and Sirius-Canopus in Gemini—are the Gates of the Sun for the Age of Pisces. Recall that Sagittarius is the Gate of the Gods, where the gods incarnate into matter. This is an important clue to the significance of Vega, as well as the fact that Vega rises at twilight on May 1, the high feast of Beltane, the Druidic New Year: "Professor Lewis Boss and Herr Stumpe place near it the Apex of the Sun's Way...
"Wega rises at sunset far toward the north on the 1st of May, and, being visible at some hour of every clear night throughout the year, is an easy and favorite object of observation. It culminates on the 12th of August." (927:286)
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Is.14:13-14)
The sun is at its apex at high noon. Black magicians worship Satan at midnight, however, practitioners of so-called 'white magic' worship Lucifer as the Daystar at high noon. Beltane is the Druidic feast of Baal, who rises from the underworld on that day. A cryptic statement by Bill Clinton, as quoted in Fritz Springmeier's The Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines, reveals that the secret societies have solemn plans for a future feast of Beltane, at which time Lucifer will rise from Hell:
"Bill Clinton in his inaugural speech said, 'This ceremony is held in the depths of winter but, by the words we speak and the faces we show the world, we force the spring.' Clinton repeated the words 'we force the spring' later in the speech. That expression is a very unusual expression. To 'force the spring' is witchcraft language. In witchcraft and satanism Lucifer (Baal) rises from the underworld on May 1st (also known by the following list of names Beltaine, a major European holiday, Communism and the Illuminati's chief holiday, and Walpurgis). The May 1st rising brings forth the season of fertility, which the witches each year take credit for, by claiming that their magic rituals 'force the spring.' The ritual magic that 'forces the spring' is done on 3 Sabbats-the first is Imbolg (also known by names: Candiemas by the Catholics and Ground Hog Day by common dupes); the second is the vernal equinox (March 20) in which blood and sex rituals are carried out and the third is Beltaine (May 1) in which fire festivals are done. This is one of the fire festivals which people around the United States tell me they have witnessed from a distance. Witches believe that on May 1st, the female force completes her takeover from the male force.)." (77:221)
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit... And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. - Rev. 9:1-2,11
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. - Rev. 11:7 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: - Rev. 17:8
The vernal equinox, on or about March 21, marks the beginning of Spring. It also marks the sign of Aries, when, according to Aleister Crowley, the Great World of transforming humanity begins.
"Aleister Crowley. . .taught that the Great Work [is] the 'transformation of humanity'. . .we are told that the Great Work 'may only be begun in the spring, under the signs of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. . .it was May 1st when the ancient druids honored their great Sun God and Goddess with an uninhibited festival complete with initiations, sex orgies, drunken revelry, and human sacrifice." - 140:230
Aries (Ram): March 21–April 19 Taurus (Bull): April 20–May 20 Gemini (Twins): May 21–June 20
The high Druidic feast of Beltane was notorious for its fiery rites of human sacrifice, according to Samantha Smith and Brenda Scott, authors of The Trojan Horse: How the New Age Infiltrates the Church:
"Tacitus alludes to the fact that the Druids of Anglesea 'covered the alters with the blood of captives.' Julius Caesar wrote that human sacrifice was a common and frequent occurrence among the Celts and that the Druids orchestrated the carnage... It appeared that these mass murders occurred regularly on the feast of Beltain (1 May) to ensure fertility of the soil... "The Celts celebrated eight religious holidays, all of which were accompanied by sacrifice. (These are identical to the eight sabbats observed by witches and Satanists today.)... The four major feasts were: Imbolc, 1 February, the feast of renewal dedicated to the goddess...Brigit; Beltain, 1 May, honoring the ancient god Belenos; Lughnaza, 1 August, the festival of the god Lugos; and Samhain 1 November, the Celtic new year and feast of the dead, which was celebrated on 31 October. "In actuality, the Druids were pantheists who worshipped a myriad of bloodthirsty deities... "Beltain and Samhain were times of great fear and uncertainty. Huge bonfires were lit on these nights, and hundreds of people were burned alive to placate the every-angry gods. 'Beltain' literally means 'Baal's fire,' and most historians agree that this was a carry-over of the Baal worship in Canaan... "The doctrines of the Druids are incredibly similar to those of the New Age." (24:55)
