Christ, Morning Star, Venus, Australia, United States, David, Ephraim and Benjamin

Christ – Morning Star

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Revelation 22

‘Israel’ split into two nations

This came about because after the death of King Solomon, son of King David, his son Rehoboam became king and taxed the people far too heavily…Therefore, the people decided against the Royal House of David and elected Jeroboam as king, who had previously occupied the office of what we would today call ‘prime minster’.

The tribes of Benjamin and Levi decided to remain loyal to Rehoboam, (son of King Solomon) of the House of Judah, mainly due to the fact that Jeroboam had deposed the tribe of Levi from the office of priesthood.

With this separation from David’s line, the Christ figure from Revelation cannot come directly from any of the ten tribes that went with Jeroboam, which leaves, Judah, Levi and Benjamin. Levi was disinherited and Judah is already the holder of the Sceptre.

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

This leaves one tribe; Benjamin.

On the West, those under the banner of the division of Ephraim shall camp in their groups, under the leaders as follows:

Ephraim …
Manasseh …
Benjamin …

Number 2:18-24

Although there is no biblical evidence suggesting that the camp to the West is represented by a Bull or an Ox, there is a long line of Jewish tradition that accepts that Judah’s camp in the East was a Lion, Reuben’s in the South was a Man, Dan’s was an Eagle and Ephraim’s camp was in fact a Bull or Ox. And there is further support for the case of Judah being a Lion found in Genesis 49 and Ephraim and Manasseh being bulls or Ox in Deuteronomy 33.17.

The tribe of Benjamin finds itself in the ‘birthright’ Camp of Ephraim, which many accept as the Bull or Ox. Benjamin of course had their own symbol; the wolf.

Benjamin is like a vicious wolf. Morning and evening he kills and devours.

Genesis 49:27

The ‘morning star’ is Venus. From excerpts taken from the book titled The Rise Of The Morning Star, by Vincent Selleck, we learn the following pertinent information:

“Venus, the planet and goddess is the most esoteric, magical and mystical influence upon our lives. She inspires all art, music and magic. Venus, apart from the sun and moon, is the only planet which is bright enough to cast a shadow. As she weaves a path between sun and earth, her alignments create a pentagram against the stars. She guards the passage way between light and dark. As the morning star she precedes the dawn. As the evening star, she shines first at sunset."

Benjamin’s description in the book of Genesis (a wolf), could quite easily be a reference to the morning and evening star; Venus.

The four cardinal points of our astronomical sky are known as fixed stars, in order of brightness, they are; Aldebaran of the astrological sign Taurus, Antares of Scorpio, Formalhaut of the lesser known fish of the Sky, Pisces Austrinus and Regulos of Leo. These four fixed stars fit very well with the four banners of the previously mentioned four Camps of Israel. Aldebaran of the Bull or Ox, ties in well with Ephraim, Regulos (Leo) with Judah, Antares (Scorpio) with Dan and Formalhaut (fish) with Reuben.

Antares is found at the heart of the Scorpio, but Scorpius is known to have three distinct aspects, the lowest aspect is the Scorpio, the middle aspect is the serpent bearer, Ophiuchus and the highest aspect is the Eagle, Aquilla. Formalhaut is found at the mouth of the lesser known fish, Pisces Austrinus, which is found directly under the well known man of the sky, the water bearer, Aquarius.

The zodiac symbol Taurus (home of Aldebaran) is said to be ruled by the planet Venus, along with Libra. This fact seems to tick off another box concerning the birthright Camp of Ephraim (including Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin) and the Venus morning star Benjamin connection.

There is much debate in many circles regarding the identity of the lost tribes of Israel. There is a current line of thinking that suggests that Ephraim is England and the United States is Manasseh. The evidence that people put forward in making their biblical connections with modern history is fascinating. The key point that I would like to make is that Judah, the lion, holds the sceptre and the only royal monarchy in the world that claims to have their hands on that sceptre is the Queen of the United Kingdom.

For what it’s worth, I respect the English monarch’s claims to the royal crown and posses no evidence that counter-claims their presumed entitlements. However, if they do possess the royal crown…then the United Kingdom, or the British Empire or the combination of Britain, Scotland and Ireland are indeed remnants of the Tribe of Judah, they are the lion. And if Jacob’s prophecy is correct in Genesis 49, they will hold the scepter until Shiloh (House of Peace) comes.

If the United Kingdom, rightly or wrongly, holds the sceptre, then the next consideration must be the Birthright.

But Jacob crossed his hands, and put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, even though he was the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, who was the elder.

His Father refused, saying, “I know, my son, I know. Manasseh’s descendants will also become a great people. But his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become great nations.

And further from Deuteronomy 33.17.

Joseph has the strength of a bull,
The horns of a wild ox.
His horns are Manasseh’s thousand,
And Ephraim’s ten thousands
With them he gores the nations
And pushes them to the ends of the earth.

Many people read this as a reference to the ratios of the future populations of both Ephraim and Manasseh.

According to St Germain in the book Earth’s Birth Changes, Australia is the Heart Seal of the world, the younger sister of America and as such has her special purpose in the future of the world. St Germain also told of how Lemuria at one was situated alongside Australia and New Zealand. When the land of Lemuria submerged beneath the sea forever, there was a shifting of plates and the continents of America and Lemuria came together. Also according to St Germain, America and Australia were born very close to the same point in history and that they will help the rest of the Earth in future times, in the understanding of harmony and co-operation, as will our neighbour, New Zealand.

Interestingly the two preceding brighter stars than Aldebaran, numbered respectively twelve and thirteen are the stars Acrux and Altair. Acrux is the brightest star in the Southern Cross and Altair is the brightest star in Aquila, the Eagle. Australia was founded in 1788, by the British Empire, America was officially founded in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence signed on the 4th of July. In many ways Australia is the younger sister of the United States, but the question of course is, could she be the older brother of Ephraim, Manasseh?

The United States was originally made up of thirteen colonies, which wasa represented on her flag as thirteen stripes along with thirteen Venus pentagram stars. The American Seal eventually continued this theme of thirteen, including thirteen stars shaped in a star of David (a symbol of Israel) and an eagle which carries in its talons further references to the number thirteen. Incredibly, Australia’s flag includes the Southern Cross constellation which includes one Venus Pentagram star.

The Royal Society was made up of scientists and astronomers who hoped this observation of the planet Venus would greatly improve navigational techniques. When Cook (discoverer and claimant of Australia for Great Britain) reached Tahiti in 1769, he followed the transit of Venus across the sun. After leaving Tahiti, he chartered the coast of New Zealand and then sailed towards Australia where the Endeavour ran aground in 1770 on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland.

Australia is not symbolised by any of the creatures that are typically represented as the four Camps of Israel, Australia’s flag includes a genuine picture of the Southern Cross and Union Jack in its corner, its coat of arms includes two of its famous animals, the kangaroo and emu. But what you will find on the flag of its settlement state, New South Wales is a picture of a lion stretched over a Southern Cross and a proud lion standing aside a kangaroo on its coat of arms. What you will also discover about Australia is that its population is much closer to a tenth of the United State’s than the United Kingdom’s.

Conclusion

There are clear references to the planet Venus in both the United States and Australian flags. Australia was discovered in a bi-lateral investigation of the planet Venus’ transit over the sun. Australia was founded after the United State’s Declaration of Independence and is considered by some to be the younger sister of the United States. There are references in Revelation and Genesis which could be considered to be references to the planet Venus. The Camp and tribe that Benjamin finds itself in is the ‘birthright’ camp and is generally considered to hold the Ox or Bull banner. Taurus, the bull is one of two zodiac signs that is ruled by Venus. The United States is certainly larger and some would say greater than Australia, but if Australia was produce the heir to God’s throne on earth, many would say that Manasseh’s natural birthright would have been respected.
