Encryptions within the Original 1611 King James Version of the Bible

[RC Christian]

Hey there RC,

Thanks for those pics. I agree, Astrology came first. I wonder if Ezekiel had conscious knowledge of that, or if he was only reporting what he saw in the visions?


The wiki has a very interesting article about Christianity and Astrology. Like the Jews, there were times when it was fully integrated into the Christian institution.

That was an interesting article, thanks. If Ezekiel or whoever wrote the Book of Ezekiel was actually in captivity in Babylon, astrology was flourishing at the time in question, so I would suppose that he learned most of what he wrote about from the Babylonians and veiled in the stories of his beautiful visions. Babylon is credited as being the "mother" of astrology, along with Chaldea...the home of Abraham.

There are a number of references which link Ezekiel and Pythagoras together as companions, and students of astrology and mathematics. A Google search will locate several references, but none that conclusively prove anything.


The link below gives some insight into Babylonian astrology, and brings up Ezekiel. It is accurate that scholars believe that the 4 fixed Signs of the zodiac originated in Babylon:

PS: Have you looked at how the Dumbo Dream thread is developing? It's getting pretty hot! It would be great if you could share you insights. You played a central role in the synchronicities that led to that post. I've never "brainstormed" with anyone about it before, and it's leading to lots of new insights.

Yes, I have been following it...and I've been holding off on adding a couple of other 528 related posts...but...it seems that 'fate' has told me, by you bringing it to my attention (here it goes again, lol)...that I should post them. I will tonight.

Thanks for the link. It is curious that he has a different take on two of the astrological signs:

He observes that Ezekiel has his vision while in Babylon and that in Babylonian astrology the four Babylonian seasonal constellations are:

Leo (the lion),
Scorpio (who had a human face),
Taurus (the bull),
and Pegasus (the thunderbird/eagle).

In Babylonian astrology these four constellations depict the four directions of the sky, being about 90 degrees from each other. Thus they represent the entire sky with God’s throne at the centre.

I've never heard of Pegasus being a Babylonian astrological sign. I'll have to check into this. Do you know anything about it?

But yeah, Ezekiel was in Babylon (or so the story goes) so it would be no surprise if Babylonian elements are found in his writings. But I hadn't ever heard of him hanging out with Pythagoras. Guess I'll have to check that out too.

Holding off? Were talking synchronicity here. You gotta go with the flow man!

No, but I'll check into it also. There zodiac changed over time, from it's origins, close to 1800 BCE. Sometime between 700-500 BCE, I believe, is when the version that we utilize and the Hebrews utilized, was settled on. I have several books on ancient Babylonian, Egyptian, and Hebrew astrology, I'll double check that.

Yeah, me neither. I read that recently and looked around some on Google, but again, nothing conclusive. Bear in mind, we don't have any conclusive evidence that "Pythagoras" actually existed...kind of like Socrates. There's not a lot of doubt about him being an actual person, just no "eye-witness" accounts that are credible.

You're right, but I'm running around handling the 'dad-husband' stuff right now. Only time to spit out left hemisphere posts ...but I'll let the right hemisphere do some talking later...
