The real end times?

P1234567890 · Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:40 am Post subject: The real end times?

Astrologically, the age of Aries was from 2150 BC to about AD 1. Aries is a ram, and the ram's horn is a symbol of Judaism.

The age of Pisces came next, and was from AD 1 and will end around AD 2150. Pisces is a fish, and the fish is the symbol of Christianity.

Does anyone else here find this to be a very strange coincidence???

Jesus is born exactly at the time when astrologically, the age of Pisces starts. Very strange.

Anyways, the reason I put this post in this thread is because the age of Pisces ends around 2150. Is that the 'real' end-times? It's not that the Earth is going to end, but rather that the age of Christianity will end.

and in which direction is the Zodiac moving?

If Pisces comes before Aries..then the next Zodiac sign would be "It is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Age of Aquarius..Aquarius..Aqaurius..the song just popped in my head..LOL

Is time moving forwards or backwards? Interesting huh?

Its called precession and it does appear to go backward. A 24,000 year (approximately) cycle.

The only reason this coincidence exists is because whoever came up with those exact dates was trying to make everything fit together nicely to give astrology a veneer of relevance. Some guy named Neil Mann, who was apparently cribbing from W.B. Yeats. And, surprise surprise, not all astrologers agree (because it is absolute nonsense).

Wikipedia on the subject of astrological ages.

Man, looking up the astrological age business led me to the depths of crazy town.

So an 'age' is not some kind of objectively measurable phenomenon? For example, it's not like the winter solstice or something like that?

Wow, astrology is even dumber than I thought!
