Zum zweiten Mal haben wir zu Weihnachten dem australischen Hobby-AstronomsTerry Lovejoy die Entdeckung eines Weihnachtskometen zu verdanken. Beachtet man dabei den Weg, den der Komet durch die Sternbilder nimmt, so ergibt sich daraus eine spektakuläre Botschaft für die Menschheit. Durch
diese Sternbilder wandert der Komet Love-Joy (Liebe und Freude) zur
Weihnachtsoktav in dieser Reihenfolge:
Daraus
ergibt sich folgendes Gesamtbild, das uns der Bote von Liebe und Freude zeigt:
Nur
auf dem Schiff der Vielzahl gibt es Rettung. Die Taube, das Symbol inneren
Friedens, ist der Wegweiser durch kommende Ereignisse welterschütternder Art.
Dieser innere Frieden wird uns auf dem Schiff unserer Rettung sicher durch die
kommenden Zeiten der Gefahr führen. Der Prinz des Friedens kommt (mit
Schiffen?) in Macht und Herrlichkeit, um der Schlange, Symbol allen Bösen, dem
Drachen und dem Giganten, den Kopf zu zertreten. Er wird (in Kürze?) kommen am
Tag des Herrn im Strom des Feuers (Niribu?) und in großer Macht um Gericht zu
halten über diese Welt.
Er beginnt in Argo
(vor Weihnachten)
The third sidereal sidepiece to Cancer is a ship called Argo. It was the celebrated ship of the Argonauts. According to Greek mythology, its captain, Jason, recovered the Golden Fleece from the serpent. To do so, of course, he had to fight both a dragon and a giant. From the ancient mythological story we can glean the true meaning of the “old ship Zion thus sailing along.” I think it represents Heaven’s “clouds” — possibly the celestial transportation vehicles for resurrected and translated saints. Jason could have been an ancient story of the Redeemer; the Golden Fleece is a symbol of eternal life; the dragon is symbolic of Satan; and the giant could represent the largest of all earthly wars — Armageddon.
Of the stars in the constellation, the brightest is Canopus, meaning “the possession of him who comes.” Another star, Sephina, means “the multitude.” They appear to represent the ship of our salvation. Such is the story to be found in the great constellation of Cancer.
Mitten durch Puppis
(vor Weihnachten) und Columba (16. bis 27. Dezember)
Die Taube (lateinisch Columba) ist ein Sternbild des
Südhimmels. Die Taube ist keines der 48 klassischen Sternbilder der Antike. Sie gehört zu drei neueren Sternbildern, die der niederländische Astronom und Theologe Petrus Plancius im 17. Jahrhundert einführte.
Sie steht im Zusammenhang mit den benachbarten Sternbildern Achterdeck des Schiffs (Puppis), Kiel des Schiffs (Carina) und Segel (Vela), die seinerzeit das ausgedehnte Sternbild Schiff Argo (Argo Navis) bildeten.
Die Taube soll den Vogel darstellen, der Jason und seinen Argonauten den Weg durch die gefährlichen Klippen des Bosporus wies.
Südlich von Canis
Major (19. bis 27. Dezember)
Like the other major constellations there are three sidereal sidepieces, which help to tell the story of Gemini. The first is Canis Major. It is depicted as a large dog and should be considered along with the second sidereal sidepiece, Canis Minor — a small dog. Over the centuries, these two constellations lost their original significance. The Greeks supposed them to be the hunting dogs of Orion when, in fact, the names of the stars in Canis Major and Canis Minor reveal that they were not originally dogs at all, but pictures of the Prince of Peace and Redeemer of the world.
The most significant star Canis Major is Sirius — the brightest star in the entire heavens. It is only nine light years away, making it one of Earth’s nearest neighbors among the millions of stars. Sirius is the most glorious star in the sky, meaning “the Prince.” It is the root word from which we derive the title, “Sir.”
Mitten durch Lepus (28. Dezember bis 1. Januar)
The third sidereal sidepiece is Lepus. In the star chart it is depicted as a rabbit, but in the most ancient zodiacs, it was a snake. It is located just below Orion, the glorious prince who crushes the head of Lepus, the serpent. There is a star in Orion’s raised foot called Rigel, meaning “the foot that crushes.”
The brightest star in Lepus is Arneb, meaning “the enemy of him who comes.” There is another star called Nihal, meaning “the mad” and another star Sulya, meaning “the deceiver.” Yes, the major constellation Gemini, along with its sidereal sidepieces represents the coming Bridegroom as Prince of Peace, Savior, and Redeemer who will conquer the enemy trodden underfoot. He is coming to rapture the saints, thus keeping us from going through the Tribulation Period.
In Luke 21:25, Jesus said that the last days would be characterized by signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars. One day, our Savior will come to carry out those great prophecies found in the stars. When God created the heavens, He gave the stars certain names, the meanings of which tell the story of God’s great plan of the ages. God gave this story to Adam and his offspring. According to Flavius Josephus, Seth, the son of Adam, invented that “peculiar science which deals with the heavenly bodies and their order.”
Südlich von Orion (29.
Dezember bis 8. Januar)
The second sidereal sidepiece
is Orion, which is said to be the most spectacular and wonderful sight in the
night sky. Orion is pictured as a mighty hunter with a club in his right hand.
In his left hand, he holds the skin of a lion that he has killed. Orion is
mentioned twice in the book of Job and once in the prophecy of Amos. Orion
means “coming forth as light.”
The brightest star in the
constellation is Betelgeuse, meaning “the coming of the branch.” Another star
in his foot is Rigel, meaning “the foot that crushes.” In the shoulder of the
constellation is a star called Bellatrix, meaning “quickly coming.” In his leg
is a star called Saiph meaning, “bruised.” Again, as in every other case, we
are reminded of Christ crushing the head of the seed of the serpent. Orion
is obviously a picture of Christ coming in power and great glory.
Nördlich von Eridanus (29. Dezember bis 9. Januar)
The third sidereal
sidepiece is Eridanus, the “river of fire,” flowing from the raised foot of
Orion. It represents the method by which Christ will crush the head of the seed
of the serpent. Josephus tells us that Adam received a prophecy that God would
destroy the world twice — once with water and once with fire. Eridanus
represents the judgment of fire. It runs across the heavens toward the south. In the river are several
named stars: Archernar means “the afterpart of the river;” Cursa means “bent
down;” and Zourac means “flowing.” This is a magnificent prophetic message
found in the constellation Taurus. It opens the final act in this great drama
of the ages flowing out upon a starlit stage — the panarama of the night sky.
Mitten durch Taurus
(ab 10. Januar)
The sign of Taurus opens
Act Three, showing us the coming of the Judge of all the earth. Taurus is pictured as a raging
bull, coming furiously. Only the front half of the bull is depicted in the
constellation. Where the back end of the bull would normally be drawn stands
the constellation Aries, the Lamb — as if the bull is coming out of Aires. It
is a magnificent picture of Christ who came the first time as the Lamb of God
to take away the sins of the world, but will return one day bringing judgment
upon the wicked.Taurus is unlike domestic bulls. It was probably an animal that is now extinct — a ferocious relative of domestic cattle, called “Rimu” in the Hebrew Scriptures. Rimu is translated “unicorn” in the King James Version of the Bible and was thought to be a mythological, one-horned creature. However, it was more likely a large wild ox. Famous for its size and ferocity, it may have survived until the times of the Roman Ceasars, but is now extinct. The wild bull, or Rimu, was a symbol of power and rule.
Balaam, described the power of Jehovah on behalf of Israel in Numbers 23:22 when he said, “God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn” (Rimu).
Taurus is the sign of coming judgment. It is the “day of vengeance of our God” (Isaiah 61:20). It is a “day of wrath” (Rom. 2:5) from which we shall be delivered for “God hath not appointed us to wrath” (I Thes. 5:9). Taurus means “governer, captain, or leader.” In the shoulder of Taurus is a group of stars known as the Pleiades, meaning “congregation of the judge.”

Weitere Infos zum Kometen:
"Comet Q2," as some are
calling it, will skim through Columba south of Orion and Lepus from the nights
of December 16th through the 26th, brightening all the while, as shown on the
finder charts for December and January below and on the print-friendly versions
here: December, January. The dates on the charts are in Universal Time, and the
ticks are for 0:00 UT.The comet spends the last few days of December in Lepus
at perhaps 6th magnitude, though by then the light of the waxing Moon (at first
quarter on the 28th) will start to be an annoyance. On New Year's Eve, a little
after January 1st Universal Time, look for the comet just off Lepus's forehead
as shown on the charts.The Moon brightens to become full on January 4th. Most
of us won't get a dark moonless view again until early in the evening of
January 7th, with the comet now crossing northernmost Eridanus.
That's the same
day it passes closest by Earth: at a distance of 0.47 a.u (44 million miles; 70
million km). That's also about when it should start glowing brightest for its
best two weeks, as it crosses Taurus and Aries high in early evening.By then
the comet is starting to recede into the distance, but its intrinsic brightness
should still be increasing a bit; it doesn't reach perihelion until January
30th, at a rather distant 1.29 a.u. from the Sun. By that date the comet should
be starting to fade slightly from Earth's point of view.
In February it will
continue north between Andromeda and Perseus as it fades further, on its way to
passing very close to Polaris late next May when it should again be very
faint.Originally Comet Q2 wasn't expected to become this bright. We're basing
these predictions on an analysis by J. P. Navarro Pina in late November using
the comet's visual behavior for the previous several weeks. Whether it will
continue to brighten on schedule is anybody's guess, but the odds are good;
comets that don't come near the Sun are more predictable in their brightnesses
than those that do.Q2 is a very long-period comet, but this is not its first
time coming through the inner solar system.
On the way in, its path showed an
orbital period of roughly 11,500 years. Slight perturbations by the planets
during this apparition will alter the orbit a bit, so that it will next return
in about 8,000 years.Finder chart for Comet Lovejoy, C/2014 Q2, during December
