Were you aware that there were fifteen major religions that had the same identical teachings of Christianity? Most people aren't. And I'm very suspect of a sixteenth religion which is copied off of fifteen previous religions, and I am told that this one is the truth.

OK, a little quiz. Who am I talking about? He was born to a virgin by immaculate conception through the intervention of a holy spirit. This fulfilled an ancient prophecy. When he was born the ruling tyrant wanted to kill him. His parents had to flee to safety. All male children under the age of two were slain by the ruler as he sought to kill the child. Angels and shepherds were at his birth and he was given gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. He was worshipped as the savior of men and led a moral and humble life. He performed miracles which included healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, casting out devils and raising the dead. He was put to death on the cross between two thieves. He descended to hell and rose from the dead to ascend back to heaven. Sounds exactly like Jesus doesnt it? But its not. That is how they described the Eastern savior god known as Virishna 1,200 years before Jesus is claimed to have been born.

Why do the same stories, dates, numbers, and symbols show up repeatedly in religious myths and texts all across the ancient world? This is related to the winter solstice or midwinter festival when the Sun is at the least powerful point in its cycle in the northern hemisphere. They said that on the solstice, our December 21/22nd, the Sun had 'died'. Three days later the 25th they said the Sun was born or born again. Thus we have a long line of Sun gods given the 'birthday' of December 25th. The Jesus of the Gospels is a symbol of the Sun and the stories include a host of other Mystery school knowledge and esoteric concepts.
David Icke, Tales from the Time Loop

For three days, December 22nd , 23rd, and 24th, the Sun rises on the exact same latitudinal (declinations) degree. This is the only time in the year that the Sun actually stops its movement northward or Southward in our sky. On the morning of December 25th the Sun moves one degree northward beginning its annual journey back to us in the Northern Hemisphere, ultimately bringing our spring. Anything steadily moving all year long that suddenly stops moving for three days was considered to have died. Therefore, Gods Sun who was dead for three days, moves onedegree northward on December 25th and is symbolically born again!

Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is the star in the East. On Dec. 24th it aligns with the three brightest stars in Orions belt which are called (and have been called since ancient times) the three kings. The three kings line up perfectly with Sirius pointing to the exact spot in which the Sun will rise the next morning. The larger constellation in which this takes place was known to the ancients as the manger or the cradle which is visible just before dawn on Dec. 25th . So the three kings or three magi effectually follow the star in the East to the manger, the birthplace of Gods Sun at the Winter Solstice. Easter also derives from the Eastern Star Sirius. The three gifts of the magi are Frankincense, Myrrh, and Gold. Frankincense is an amber resin that was burned at solar temples, Myrrh was known as tears of the Sun, and Gold too long represented the Sun in the ancient world. The recurrent virgin theme represents the constellation Virgo, which is Latin for virgin. The ancient glyph for Virgo looks like an M which explains the M names of virgin mothers like Jesus mother Mary, Adonis mother Myrra, Buddhas mother Maya, and Horus mother IsisMeri. Virgo is also called the House of Bread and the zodiacal symbol shows a woman holding a chaff of wheat, representing the August/September time of harvest. Bethlehem also means House of Bread and is a reference to the constellation Virgo, not a place on Earth. At its lowest point the sky on Dec. 22nd the Sun resides in the Southern Cross or the Crux, a cross formed by stars symbolizing the crucifixion. After steadily traveling downward since the last solstice, the Sun stops movement at the Southern Crux for 3 days then rises again the Son dies on the cross and after 3 days is resurrected. No people of the ancient world believed the Sun to be God. That belongs in the disinformation file. In point of fact, every ancient culture and nation on Earth have all used the Sun as the most logically appropriate symbol to represent the glory of the unseen Creator of the heavens. Here it is important to remember two points. First, with the exception of Japan, the ancient world mythologies always understood the Sun to be masculine in qualities, and the moon

feminine. Second, the English language is derived from the German. In the Germanic, the word Sun is spelled Sonne (Son). The two words can (and have been) used interchangeably Ancient man saw in his male offspring his own image and likeness, and his own existence as a father was proved by the person of his son. Thus, it was assumed that Gods Sun was but a visible representative of the unseen Creator in heaven. So it was said, when you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father. Said another way is The Father is glorified in His Son The ancient peoples reasoned that no one on Earth could ever lay claim of ownership to the Sun. Such a magnificent heavenly body must belong to the unseen Creator of the universe. It became, figuratively speaking, not mans but Gods Sun. It was only a short hop and skip to the understanding that Gods Sun was The Light of the World Logically even if man himself dies, as long as the Sun comes up each day, life on Earth will continue forever. Therefore, it was said in the ancient texts that everlasting life was the gift that the Father gives through his Sun.

To ancient man the most dangerous, feared enemy was the unknown darkness of night, thereby making the Sun, the light, heavens gift to the world. Without its light we cannot see, without its warmth we cannot move, without its energy our food cannot grow. Our very lives depend on the energy emitting from the Sun, making it our life and savior. God so loves the world that he has given his only begotten Sun so that we may have everlasting life. That is why in Deut 4:24 and Heb 12:29 God is consuming fire in heaven. The Prince of Darkness is the Dark Evil, the Devil, Devil. God is the Good; Gods Sun is the Light of the World, and the Prince of Peace. The Peace he brings is Solace Solace again from the word Solar, meaning Sun. In the Egyptian personification, the Prince of Darkness was known as Set and the Sun was known as Horus. So every night at SunSet the Dark Prince overtakes the world. But every morning the Sun is born again at Sun Rise, Horus is risen on the Horizon. This is where we get the word Hero, the cheer Hooray! and also why an interpretation of the zodiac is a Horoscope. At daybreak this wonderful newborn child, Gods Sun is Born Again, Horus is Risen. Even today when the Sun comes up we see it on the HorusRisen or Horizon. His life was also divided into 12 parts or steps across Heaven each day: 12 Horus = 12 Hours. This is the origin of the modern 12 Step Program. Horus is the (newborn) Sun, or the Bringer of the Light. In Latin, Light Bringer is Lucis, or Lucifer, or Luke Gods Sun brought His wonderful light to the world, and distributed it over 12 months. So it was said, Gods Sun had 12 companions, or helpers, that assisted His lifesaving work. So it was, Gods Sun had 12 apostles (or months) that followed Him religiously through His life. Incidentally, now you know why the American jury system has 12 jurors who help bring the truth to light, with the Light of Truth ... Keep in mind Gods Sun symbolically represented the light of truth, but was condemned by His enemies who could not endure the light of truth in their life. When we are confronted with the harsh realities of life, the light of truth, which we do not wish to face, and which runs counter to our views, such truth is judged in your mind, or judged in the temple area of your brain, and put to death in your head! Therefore Gods Sun The Truth and The Light is put to death at Golgotha, or Place of the Skull, located somewhere between your ears! This putting to death of the light of truth in your mind is always accompanied by two thieves: Regret for the past and Fear of the future. And of course Gods Sun goes to His death wearing a corona Latin for Crown of Thorns.

So your temples or at the Golgatha (which means Place of the Skull), Gods Sun, the light of truth, is judged and crucified along with the two thieves of past and future.

The Suns corona, the plasma atmosphere around the Sun, is then allegorically used as the Sons (Latin translation) Crown of Thorns. Cultures all over the ancient world kept track of time and seasons based on the movement of the Sun. They invented circular sundials and sun calendars which recorded daily and yearly time (lunar calendars recorded months). This method of circular solar based time keeping was used by the ancient Mexicans, Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Celtics, Aryans and more. (JM.com) Out of these circular, pictorial Sun calendars developed the Holy cross. The Sun is portrayed on a cross a circle with perpendicular lines intersecting in the middle, the horizontal axis representing the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, the vertical axis representing the Summer and Winter Solstices. This is the reason you often see a circle around Christian, Celtic, ancient and modern crosses. Since the Earth experienced 4 different seasons, all the same and equal (in time) each year, the round Sun calendar was divided into 4 equal parts. This is also why we have, in the Bible, only 4 Gospels. Of this point, there can be no doubt. The 4 Gospels represent the 4 seasons which collectively tell the entire story of the life of Gods Sun. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. This is why the famous painting of The Last Supper pictures the 12 followers of the Sun in four groups (of three) the seasons!
