Exodus Chapter 9 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "the (glorious) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Go in unto (Cepheus) Pharaoh, and (red radius) tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my (Gemini) people go, that they may serve me" or "there shall be a very grievous (blue radius) murrain (plague). And the Lord shall sever between the (Taurus) cattle of Israel and the (Taurus) cattle of Egypt" (9:3-4) till "the Lord appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the Lord shall do this thing in the land" (9:5) is 150° or 10 hours later (360/24 = 15° or one hour). "And the heart of Pharaoh was (lunar) hardened, and (60° or about 4 hours later) he did not let the (Gemini) people go" (9:7).

Then from when "the (radiant) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses and unto (Hercules) Aaron, Take to you (black Zodiac) (lunar) handfuls of ashes of the (solar) furnace, and let (Castor) Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of (Cepheus) Pharaoh. And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a (lunar and star) boil breaking forth with blains upon man (Gemini constellation), and upon beast (Taurus/Aries constellation), throughout all the land of Egypt" (9:8-9) till "they took (black Zodiac) ashes of the (solar) furnace, and stood before (Cepheus) Pharaoh; and Moses (Castor) sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a (lunar and star) boil breaking forth with blains upon man" (Gemini constellation) (9:10) is 210° or 14 hours later, "and upon beast (Taurus/Aries constellation)" (9:10) is 300° seconds later. "And the Lord hardened the (lunar) heart of (Cepheus) Pharaoh, and he (lunar ear) hearkened not unto them" (60° or 4 hours later) (9:12).

Then from when "the (fiery) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Rise up early in the morning (sun on red radius horizon), and stand before Pharaoh (Cepheus), and (red radius) say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my (Gemini) people go, that they may serve me.... Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous (lunar and star) hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now. Send therefore now, and gather thy (Taurus) cattle, and all that thou hast in the (red radius) field; for upon every man (Gemini constellation) and beast (Taurus/Aries constellation) which shall be found in the (red radius) field, and shall not be brought (red radius) home, the (lunar and star) hail shall come down upon them, and they shall (red radius) die" (9:13,18-19) till "the Lord said unto (Castor) Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be (lunar and star) hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man (Gemini constellation), and upon beast (Taurus/Aries constellation), and upon every (green Milky Way) herb of the (red radius) field, throughout the land of Egypt" (9:22) is 360° or one day. Then one more 360° day of hail, and "Pharaoh (Cepheus) sent, and called for (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron, and said unto them, I have (red radius) sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my (Gemini) people are (red radius) wicked. Intreat the Lord (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty (red radius) thunderings and (lunar and star) hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. And Moses (Ophiuchus) said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my (lunar) hands unto the Lord; and the (red radius) thunder shall cease (at 150° minutes), neither shall there be any more (lunar and star) hail (at 60° seconds more); that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord's" (9:27-29). "And when Pharaoh (Cepheus) saw that the (red radius) rain and the (star) hail and the (red radius) thunders were ceased, he (red radius) sinned yet more, and (red radius) hardened his (lunar) heart, he and his (Gemini) servants.... neither would he let the (Gemini) children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by Moses (Ophiuchus)" (9:34-35).

Exodus Chapter 10 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "the (sun-like) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh (Cepheus): for I have hardened his (lunar) heart, and the (lunar) heart of his (Gemini) servants, that I might shew these my (Zodiac) signs before him: And that thou (Pollux) mayest tell in the (lunar) ears of thy (Castor) son (+210° or 17 years), and of thy (Pollux) son's (Castor) son (+360° or 30 years), what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my (Zodiac) signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord" (10:1-2).

"And Moses (Ophiuchus) and Aaron (Hercules) came in unto Pharaoh (Cepheus) (+360° or one day), and (red radius) said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my (Gemini) people go, that they may serve me. Else, if thou refuse to let my (Gemini) people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the (Scorpio) locusts into thy (red radius) coast" (+360° or one day)(10:3-4)

"And they shall fill thy (red radius) houses, and the houses of all thy (Gemini) servants, and the (red radius) houses of all the (Hercules and Ophiuchus) Egyptians (+360° or one day); which neither thy (Hercules and Ophiuchus) fathers, (-360° or 30 years) nor thy (Hercules and Ophiuchus) fathers' fathers have (lunar eye balls) seen (-720° or 60 years), since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he (Ophiuchus) turned himself, and went out from (Cepheus) Pharaoh. And Pharaoh's (Ophiuchus and Hercules) servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a (red radius) snare unto us? let the (Gemini) men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed? And Moses (Ophiuchus) and Aaron (Hercules) were brought again unto Pharaoh (Cepheus) (+360° seconds or 6 minutes): and he (red radius) said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God: but who are they that shall go?" (10:6-8)

"And the (fiery) Lord said unto Moses (Ophiuchus), Stretch out thine (Castor) hand over the land of Egypt for the (Scorpio) locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every (green Milky Way) herb of the land, even all that the (lunar) hail hath left. And Moses stretched forth his (blue radius) rod over the land of Egypt (+210° seconds or 3.5 minutes), and the Lord brought an east wind (Milky Way) upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the (Scorpio) locusts (+360° or 24 hours). For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was (black Zodiac) darkened; and they did eat every (green Milky Way) herb of the land, and all the (solar and lunar) fruit of the trees which the (lunar) hail had left: and there remained not any (Milky Way) green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt" (+360° or one day) (10:12,13,15)

"And he (Ophiuchus-Moses) went out from Pharaoh (Cepheus), and intreated the (fiery) Lord (+360° or 6 minutes). And the Lord turned a mighty strong (Milky Way) west wind, which took away the (Scorpio) locusts, and cast them into the (Eridanus) Red sea (+150° or 10 hours); there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt. But the Lord (red radius) hardened Pharaoh's (lunar) heart, so that he would not let the (Gemini) children of Israel go" (10:18-20).

"And the Lord (red radius) said unto Moses, Stretch out thine (Castor) hand toward heaven, that there may be (black Zodiac) darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt (+210° seconds or 3.5 minutes). And Moses stretched forth his (Castor) hand toward heaven (+210° seconds or 3.5 minutes); and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days (+1080° or 72 hours): They saw not (lunar eye balls crossed out) one another, neither rose any from his place for three days (1080° or 72 hours ): but all the (Gemini) children of Israel had (lunar) light in their (blue radius) dwellings. And Pharaoh (blue radius) called unto Moses (Ophiuchus), and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your (Aries) flocks and your (Taurus) herds be stayed: let your (Gemini) little ones also go with you. And Moses (Ophiuchus) (red radius) said (+150° minutes), Thou must give us also (solar) sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may (solar) sacrifice unto the Lord our God. Our (Taurus) cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we come thither. But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's (lunar) heart, and he would not let them go. And Pharaoh (Hercules) said unto him (Ophiuchus), Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, (lunar eye balls) see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die" (10:21-28).

Exodus Chapter 11 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "the (sun-like) Lord said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon (Cepheus) Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether" (11:1) till Moses spoke "in the (lunar) ears of the (Gemini) people" (+150° seconds and +210° seconds) to "let every (Pollux) man borrow of his (Castor) neighbour, and every (Pollux) woman of her (Castor) neighbour, jewels of (lunar) silver and jewels of (solar) gold" (11:2) is 210°/15 = 14 hours. "And the Lord gave the (Gemini) people favour in the (lunar eyeballs) sight of the (Ophiuchus and Hercules) Egyptians" (11:3) is 360° or one day. Moreover the man (Ophiuchus) Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the (lunar eyeballs) sight of Pharaoh's (Gemini) servants, and in the (lunar eyeballs) sight of the (Hercules and Ophiuchus) people. From then till "About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: And all the (Gemini) firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die" (11:4-5) is 210° or 14 hours, from the first born of (Cepheus) Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the (Gemini) firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the (lunar) mill; and all the firstborn of (Taurus and Aries) beasts is 300° seconds. "And there shall be a great (red radius) cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more" (11:6) 150° later or 10 hours. Then "all these thy (Ophiuchus and Hercules) servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me , saying, Get thee out" (Ophiuchus) (11:8) is 360° or one day. "And the Lord (red radius) said unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, Pharaoh shall not (lunar ear) hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt" (11:9) is 360° or 6 minutes. "And (Ophiuchus) Moses and (Hercules) Aaron did all these wonders before (Cepheus) Pharaoh: and the Lord (red radius) hardened (Cepheus) Pharaoh's (lunar) heart (+150°/15 = 10 hours), so that he would not let the (Gemini) children of Israel go out of his land" (11:10) is 210°/15 or 14 hours.

Exodus Chapter 12 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "the (sun-like) Lord spake unto Moses (Ophiuchus) and Aaron (Hercules) in the land of Egypt (1446 B.C.) saying ... Speak ye unto all the (Gemini) congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a (Aries) lamb, according to the house of their (Gemini) fathers, a lamb (Aries) for an house" (12:1-3) is 210° minutes. "And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole (Gemini) assembly of the congregation of Israel shall (red radius) kill it (Aries or Taurus) in the evening" (12:6) is 4 laps x 360° or four days. "Ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with (solar) fire" (12:10) 150° or 5 hours later. Then "Seven days shall ye eat (solar) unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away (lunar) leaven out of your (red radius) houses: for whosoever eateth leavened (solar golden) bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be (red radius) cut off from Israel" (12:15)..... "In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened (solar golden) bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even" (12:18) is 7 laps x 360° or seven days. On the first day "the (Gemini) children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside (Gemini) children" (12:37) is 60°. That was Nisan 15, 1446 B.C. "Now the sojourning of the (Gemini) children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt (and Canaan), was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt" (Ex. 12:40-41) (1876-1446 B.C.).

Notice that the red radius lines portray the image of the waters-turned-to-blood Nile delta region known as Goshen with the Gemini children of Israel on the east and their Taurus cattle and Aries sheep on the west. See maps below. Also portrayed are two eyeballs with optic nerve; header and two side doorposts; a forked tongue of Pharaoh, etc.

The Gospel in Egypt

The message of salvation and grace can be found hidden in Exodus fifteen centuries before Christ. The first Passover was full of types and shadows of a reality that would later be played out. Exodus 12:11 states: "In this manner you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's passover. For I will pass through". Not that the Israelites were to be ready to flee their homes, at any instant, even while they ate. For God had already said that He would pass through "about midnight" (Ex. 11:4), and He further instructed: "none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning" (Ex. 12:22). Therefore, even though the instructions were to be taken literally, their meaning was symbolic. This is illustrated by the fact that each Israelite was to eat while holding at the same time "your staff in your hand." If the purpose had been to literally speed up their departure, it would have been easier for the staff to lean by the door within easy reach. Eating would have been much easier with both hands free.

But what did the instructions symbolize? Biblical scholar T. H. Gaster believed that eating "in haste" was a symbol of purity, no fermentation having entered into lamb or bread (Festivals of the Jewish Year, p. 33). But this really doesn't answer the question, especially concerning the staves, the sandals, the clothing. The whole ritual was designed in the beginning by God, to picture the atoning blood sacrifice of our Lord and Savior.

As the mob approached at midnight to take Him to His trial and crucifixion, Jesus said: "But all this has taken place, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled" (Matt. 26:56). What prophets? Moses, who wrote the book of Exodus, was such a prophet (Deut. 18:18). What prophecies were being fulfilled as Jesus spoke? The preceding verses explain: "And while he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves ... But how then [else] should the scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so? In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take [capture] me? (26:47,54,55) In all the Bible there is no prophecy that the Messiah or Savior was to be taken by a mob with staves, in haste, prepared with "loins girded" and shoes on their feet to chase Him should He flee -- except the Passover instructions in Exodus 12.

Jesus had earlier demonstrated His concern to properly fulfill prophecy: "And he said to them, 'When I sent you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?' They said, 'Nothing.' He said to them, 'But now, let him who has a purse take it, and likewise a bag. And let him who has no sword sell his mantle and buy one. For I tell you that this scripture [Isa.53:12] must be fulfilled in me, "And he was reckoned with transgressors"; for what is written about me has its fulfillment.' And they said, 'Look, Lord, here are two swords.' And he said to them, 'It is enough' " (Luke 22:35-38).

Why Swords? Was there really a need, prophetically, for swords? How could two be enough? And was Christ actually "reckoned with the transgressors "? Verses 47 and on give the answer: "There came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him; but Jesus said to him, 'Judas, would you betray the Son of man with a kiss?' And when those who were about him saw what would follow, they said, 'Lord, shall we strike with the sword?' And one of them [Peter - see John 18:10-11] struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus said, 'No more of this!' [this much was sufficient for that prophecy's sake]....and healed him" (see also Mark 14:43-48).

"Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, 'Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?' " Here was the mob with the staves (A staff, in essence, is a stick of wood. It may be a walking stick. It may be a weapon of offense or defense. Hence John 18:3 speaks of the mob having lanterns, torches and weapons.)

" 'When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.' " What was that hour? "About midnight" -- the hour of the death angel, that power of darkness himself, who caused the death of all the firstborn in Egypt except those where the Eternal also was, protecting those who had the sign of the blood.

This was the hour and the situation pictured at Passover even today by the Samaritans on Mount Gerizim. They kill their Passover lamb at the precise instant of sunset, but do not actually eat till after midnight and in great haste (Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, vol. 3, pp . 665 , 666).

There in the garden of Gethsemane was the mob in great "haste" -- a haste to get rid of the unwelcome prophet Jesus before the people who heard Him gladly should know what was happening (Mark 12:37; 14:2). Their haste continued until they had condemned Him to death and coerced Pontius Pilate into seconding the sentence and carrying out the execution.

Who Killed Christ? But why should the Israelites, who were being given God's protection from death, symbolize the mob who were putting Christ to death? The answer to this is the answer to the question, "Who really killed Jesus Christ?" We sinful human beings -- all of us. We killed Jesus Christ. Our sins forced Him to suffer and die, to make it possible for us to enter into eternal life. The mob was stubborn, sinful Israel in ancient Egypt. They killed Jesus Christ -- just as they killed the Passover lamb whose blood they put on the mezuzah (law) which was on the doorposts to symbolize the blood of Christ that covered broken law. The mob was the Gentiles, who have never kept the Passover, and those who have never yet heard the name of Jesus. They killed Christ. The mob was us, all of mankind! The blood of Jesus, our Passover Lamb, the very life of the God-man who was perfect, the man who never sinned, was sufficient for all times, to redeem all generations.

The same is true of His body. First of all, the body of a lamb to represent Christ had to be perfect, without blemish (Ex. 12:5). Then Israel was told (verse 9): "Do not eat any of it raw or boiled with water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts." The body of the lamb picturing Jesus was not to be dismembered as would occur in boiling it. In fact, not a bone -- in the lamb or Christ -- was to be broken (verse 46; Num. 9: 12; Ps. 34:20). This is why Christ had to die from a spear wound rather than having His legs broken like the thieves which were crucified with Him (John 19:31-37). The spear could slash open his flesh, picturing what would occur if the Passover animal's entrails were removed, but neither Christ nor lamb were allowed to be cut apart. Then what was done with any amount of the Passover sacrifice which might be left over? The blood, of course, was poured out right at first. It was not eaten. It represented payment for sin. The body of the lamb, however, was consumed, representing an intake of Jesus Christ Himself into the Christian, resulting in a becoming like Him in character. But a deadline was set on this physical intake, illustrating the spiritual fact that there is coming a time when this opportunity of taking in Christ's nature will no longer be available to mankind. It will end with the lake of fire. Now read Exodus 12:10: "And you shall let none of it remain until the morning, anything that remains until the morning you shall burn." That is how the plan of God for mankind is fulfilled.
